FAQ 472
How many hours can I work as an international student?

You will find this information on your visa (for example 'work limited to max 10 hrs per week during term time'), and on our website.


Although legally you can work up to 20 hours, the University strongly advises that undergraduate and taught postgraduate students work no more than 15 hours per week during term time, as extra work may adversely affect your studies. Postgraduate research students should be aware of the advisory limits on the number of hours of work they undertake, outlined in the University’s Employment of postgraduate students: Code of Good Practice.
