No, your PTE (Pearson Test of English) score does not affect your eligibility for part-time work near the university in Ireland or Germany.

Part-time work eligibility is determined by your student visa status and local regulations:
- Ireland: You can work part-time if you hold a valid Stamp 2 student visa, allowing up to 20 hours/week during term and 40 hours/week during holidays.
- Germany: You can work up to 120 full days or 240 half days per year (about 20 hours/week during semester), as permitted by your student visa.

Your PTE score is used for university admission, not for work eligibility.
