Working Through Your Studies
You can work part-time for up to 20 hours a week during
term-time and 40 hours a week during holidays. The
Immigration Authority however, won’t recognise
prospective earnings as proof that you will be able to
support yourself during your studies, therefore you must
be able to prove that you can afford to live for the period
of your residence without earning income from
employment. The university careers service can help you
find a job.
International Office Visits and Exhibitions
Staff from the International Office attend education and
training events all over the world. To find out if we are
