How much can I earn while studying abroad through part-time work in UK/Germany?

You can earn a meaningful amount through part-time work while studying abroad, but the exact figure depends on the country:

- UK: Up to 20 hours/week during term time, with a National Living Wage of £12.71/hour (ages 21+, from 1 April 2026). This means you could earn about £1,000/month before tax if you work the maximum allowed hours.
- Germany: Up to 140 full days or 280 half days per year (about 20 hours/week in semester), with a minimum wage of €13.90/hour. This can amount to roughly €1,112/month before tax.

These earnings can help with living expenses but usually won't cover full tuition. Balancing work and study is important.
