Yes, international students in Dubai can work part-time while studying. You must obtain a part-time work permit from the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE).

- Up to 15 hours/week during academic terms
- Up to 40 hours/week during semester breaks

Common student jobs include roles in retail, hospitality, tutoring, and administrative support. Tutoring can pay AED 50 - 150/hour, depending on your subject expertise.

Be sure to balance work with your studies to maintain good academic standing. If you need help finding part-time opportunities, your LeapScholar counsellor can guide you.
