Do public universities allow part-time jobs for students in Australia/Canada?

Yes, public universities in Canada, Germany, and Australia generally allow international students to work part-time while studying, but rules vary by country.

- Canada: You can work up to 24 hours per week during academic sessions and full-time during scheduled breaks, if you have a valid study permit and are enrolled in a designated learning institution. Rules are subject to change.

- Germany: You may work up to 140 full days or 280 half days per year. University jobs (like research assistantships) are exempt from these limits.

- Australia: You can work up to 48 hours per fortnight during academic sessions and unlimited hours during official breaks, as long as you follow your visa conditions.

Part-time work is allowed, but your studies should remain your main focus. Policies are subject to change.
