Yes, international students in Sweden can work part-time during their studies. There are no official limits on work hours, but you must maintain satisfactory academic progress.

Most students work up to 15 hours/week during the semester, and full-time during the summer. Common jobs include roles in cafés, restaurants, tutoring, babysitting, or on-campus positions.

Part-time work can help with expenses, but may not cover all costs. Knowledge of Swedish is helpful, and competition for jobs can be high.
