Yes, the UK, Ireland, and Germany are all strong options for international students seeking both study and work opportunities.

- Germany: Allows students to work up to 120 full days or 240 half days per year (about 20 hours/week during semester). After graduation, you can apply for an 18-month job-seeker visa.
- France: Permits up to 964 work hours/year (about 20 hours/week). Graduates may get a one-year temporary residence permit for job search or entrepreneurship.
- Ireland: Lets students work 20 hours/week during term and full-time on holidays. After a master's, you may qualify for a two-year stay-back visa to work.

Work and visa policies are subject to change. If you need help choosing the best option for your goals, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
