Yes, you can work part-time during your studies in the UK on a Student visa and apply for Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) registration after graduation to practice physiotherapy.

- Work rights: Student visa holders can work up to 20 hours/week during term time and full-time during official vacations. Self-employment is not allowed.
- HCPC registration: After graduation, you must apply for HCPC registration through the international route. Your education and training must meet HCPC standards, and you'll need to prove your English proficiency.

Immigration and registration policies are subject to change.
