Is it possible to work part-time during college and will that be considered as work experience in UK/Germany for a Master's?

Yes, you can work part-time during your master's studies in both Germany and the UK, based on current visa rules.
- Germany: Up to 20 hours/week during the semester, full-time during holidays, with annual limits on total workdays.
- UK: Up to 20 hours/week during term, full-time during official vacation periods.
Part-time work is considered valid work experience and can strengthen your profile for future job or academic opportunities, especially if the roles are related to your field or build transferable skills.
