UK Cost & living - Part-time work
52 questions
Expert Answers
Is learning the local language necessary to get a part-time job in Malaysia, and how is student life there overall?
→No, Bahasa Melayu is not strictly required, but it narrows your part-time options since legal student jobs are capped at hotels, restaurants, petrol stations, and mini-marts. English-only jobs exist at hotel chains and expat cafes. Student life overall is affordable, safe, and comfortable.
How much part time work should international master's students in the UK take on without harming their academics and job prospects?
→Aim for 10 to 15 hours of part-time work weekly, not the full legal 20-hour cap. Your one-year UK master's demands 35 to 40 study hours, so stacking on 20 work hours risks burnout, lower grades and no time for job hunting, which itself needs 5 to 10 hours weekly.
