Is there flexibility to work while studying in a two-year course in Netherlands/Sweden for a Master's?
Yes, you can work part-time while studying a two-year master's program in both Sweden and the Netherlands, but the rules differ.
Sweden:
- No legal limit on work hours during studies.
- A valid student residence permit allows you to work.
- Many jobs require Swedish language skills.
Netherlands:
- Up to 16 hours/week during the academic year, or full-time in summer (June - August).
- A work permit is needed; your employer must apply for it.
- Dutch language skills can improve job options.
Work regulations are subject to change. For guidance on balancing work and studies or navigating permits, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
