You can work part-time during your MBA in the UK, but there are limits and important rules to follow.

- Part-time work: You can work up to 20 hours per week during term time, and full-time during official university vacations.
- Job types: Typical roles include retail, hospitality, customer service, tutoring, and on-campus jobs. Self-employment, running a business, or permanent full-time jobs are not allowed on a Student visa.
- Earnings: Part-time jobs usually pay £8 - £12/hour. This can help with living expenses, but may not cover all costs, so plan your budget carefully.
- Visa compliance: Always follow the work restrictions on your Student visa to maintain your legal status.
