Yes, as an international student in Ireland, you have access to several part-time job options to help manage your living expenses while studying.

- Hospitality: Barista, waiter/waitress, kitchen assistant, and bar staff in cafés, restaurants, and pubs. These roles often offer flexible hours.
- Retail: Cashier, sales assistant, or stock replenisher in supermarkets and retail stores.
- On-campus jobs: Library assistant, research support, administrative roles, or working in campus cafés and student unions.
- Tutoring: If you have strong subject knowledge, you can tutor other students locally or online.

You can work up to 20 hours/week during term time and up to 40 hours/week during official holidays on a valid student visa (Stamp 2). A Personal Public Service (PPS) number is required for legal employment.

Part-time work typically helps with living costs but may not cover tuition fees, so ensure you have sufficient funds or scholarships.
