What are the options for part-time jobs or work permits during or after studies in countries like the UK or Dubai for a PhD?

You can work part-time during your studies in both the UK and Dubai, but the rules and post-study options differ.

UK:
- During studies: Up to 20 hours/week part-time during term, full-time in vacations (with a Student visa for a full-time degree).
- After graduation: The Graduate Visa lets you work for up to 2 years (3 years for PhD graduates) without employer sponsorship.

Dubai:
- During studies: Up to 20 hours/week part-time, if you're 15+ and have a valid student residency visa and part-time work permit.
- After graduation: You can get a Job Seeker Visa (60 - 120 days to find work), then an employment visa if hired. There are also longer-term Green and Golden Visas for eligible graduates.

Visa and work policies are subject to change.
