As an international student in the UK, you can work up to 20 hours per week during term time and full-time during holidays, so it's important to follow these limits to comply with your visa conditions. Suitable part-time jobs often include roles like retail assistant, café staff, warehouse operative, or student ambassador, which offer flexibility and help build transferable skills. To prepare, take advantage of your university's career services, connect with peers and professionals, and keep your CV updated with relevant skills. Balancing work alongside your master’s studies will be key, so prioritize academics and ensure work hours do not affect your coursework. If you need more personalized guidance, your LeapScholar counsellor can help.
