Can I get work experience or internships at the university while studying, and are part-time jobs available on or off campus in UK?

Yes, as an international student in the UK, you can gain work experience or internships while studying. Part-time jobs are available both on and off campus.

- Work hours: Up to 20 hours/week during term time, full-time during official vacations (subject to change).
- On-campus jobs: Universities often offer roles like library assistant or student ambassador.
- Off-campus jobs: You can work in retail, hospitality, or other sectors, within the permitted hours.
- Internships: Allowed if they fit within work hour limits, unless they are an assessed part of your course (then, usual limits may not apply).

Some types of work, like self-employment, are not permitted. For personalized guidance, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
