Yes, you can work on-campus as a teaching assistant (TA) or research assistant (RA) while pursuing a master's in the UK or the Netherlands as an international student.

- UK: With a Student visa, you can work up to 20 hours/week during term and full-time during vacations. TA/RA roles are open to full-time students in good academic standing.
- Netherlands: With a valid residence permit, you can work up to 16 hours/week during the academic year and full-time in summer. TA/RA positions usually require enrollment in a relevant master's program.

Work limits and eligibility are subject to change and may vary by university. Always ensure your work stays within visa conditions. For details on available positions and application steps, contact your university’s career or international office.
