Work during my studies, UK


Can I work during my studies?





Most of students coming to UK for studies with a Tier 4 student visa are allowed to work 20 hours per week maximum during term time. This depends on the type of Tier 4 sponsor type you choose.

Per week means a 7-day period starting on a Monday, so if you work with irregular hours or have more than one employer, you will need to keep detailed records of how many hours you work each day in order to ensure you do not exceed the limit. 
"Term time" means the period when your Tier 4 sponsor expects you to be studying, and "vacation" means the period when your Tier 4 sponsor does not require you to be studying. These dates are usually set out on an education provider's website or in the course information it gives you, and employers are required to check them. The Tier 4 guidance for Home Office caseworkers (modernized guidance) confirms that you can work full time in the period before your course starts as well as in the period after you have finished your course.
If the visa includes the quote ‘work and any changes must be authorized’, students are able to work without any further permission. 
Avertissement  People studying on a course classed as below degree level, with courses such as International Foundation and English Language courses are only permitted to work 10/h maximum per week  Avertissement

Student entered in the UK with a Student Visitor Visa are not allowed to work.

Always check what your passport sticker (entry clearance) or biometric residence permit (BRP) says. You should also have received detailed information in a letter when you received your entry clearance or BRP. If you think there is an error, for example it says "No work" when you should be allowed to work, you must get it corrected before you take any employment - see how to do this in Errors on 30-day vignette and Errors on BRP.

    I don't know about UK, especially with Brexit, but in Ireland it's European standards. It is therefore quite possible for a French student to work on the condition of opening a account in a bank here (quite simple according to my friends who did it).
    Regarding the scheduling, you have time to work (for UCD students). You just need to be well organized. You have fewer lessons than Kedge but more personal and group work to provide. So you will have to organize your schedule as best as possible to be able to do everything. -Romane

Health in Galway

Health care in Galway, as in all of Ireland, is expensive (consultation of 40 to 60€). It is therefore important to have your European Health Insurance Card and to take out additional insurance to be reimbursed for all your health costs. EU citizens are covered in Ireland by their European health insurance card. As long as you hold this card, you will be treated as an Irish citizen in health care, whether you are visiting or staying permanently.
