Yes, you can do part-time work during your master's in both Ireland and Singapore, but the rules are different.

- Ireland: Up to 20 hours/week during term; up to 40 hours/week during official holidays (June - September, mid-December - mid-January). You need a valid Irish Residence Permit (Stamp 2) and a Personal Public Service (PPS) number.
- Singapore: Up to 16 hours/week during term if enrolled full-time at an approved institution; full-time work allowed during official vacations. Institutional approval is required.

Always follow visa and university policies to maintain your student status. LeapScholar can guide you on these requirements and university options.
