Working Whilst Studying

Many students have to work part-time to supplement their income while they study. If you are struggling financially and you do not work we advise you to look for some part-time employment as soon as possible.

If you are an International or EEA/Swiss student you must check the rules on working in the UK in relation to your immigration status. For instance, you may not be able to work if you do not have the correct visa, if you can work you may have to join the Workers Registration Scheme or you may be limited to the amount of hours you are able to work during term time. It is important that you read the relative information, links below, before you seek employment.

UK students; Please note, if you decide to apply for the Access to Learning Fund the government guidelines mean that we have to assume you have an annual income from employment.
