Yes, part-time job opportunities are available for international students in Germany, the UK, and Ireland, but each country has specific work hour limits.

- Germany: Non-EU/EEA students can work up to 120 full days or 240 half days per year (subject to change).
- UK: Master's students can work up to 20 hours/week during term time and full-time during official vacations (subject to change).
- Ireland: With Stamp 2 permission, students can work up to 20 hours/week during term and up to 40 hours/week during designated holiday periods (subject to change).

Always follow the latest visa rules, as exceeding allowed hours can affect your visa status. For job search support, contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
