Do I need to have a certain IELTS score to be eligible for part-time jobs during studies?

No, you do not need a specific IELTS score to be eligible for part-time jobs during your studies. Eligibility mainly depends on your student visa conditions and the local labor laws of your study destination - not your English test scores.
A strong IELTS score can help with job applications, especially for roles requiring good communication, but it is not a formal requirement for part-time work.
If you need advice on work permissions for your chosen country, please connect with your Leap counsellor.
