Yes, as a master's applicant to the UK, you can work part-time during your studies if your Student visa allows it - usually up to 20 hours per week during term time and full-time during vacations. Some job types, like self-employment and certain professional roles, are not permitted. After completing your course, you may be able to work full-time for up to four months on your Student visa. For longer-term work in the UK, you would need to apply for a different visa, such as the Skilled Worker visa, which has specific requirements. Since visa policies can change, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor for the most up-to-date guidelines.
