Can Master's students work part-time in Ireland and how many hours are allowed per week?
09 Jun 2026 · Answered by Shairal Pathak · 1 min read
Yes, as a master's student in Ireland, you can work up to 20 hours per week during term time and up to 40 hours per week during holidays. You’ll need to be enrolled in a full-time, recognized course and hold Stamp 2 permission. Part-time jobs help with living expenses, but ensure you have enough funds for your tuition and cost of living.
