Yes, you can manage your job joining and study abroad plans if you start your UK studies in 2026 or 2027. UK student visa processing generally takes about 3 weeks, but in the busy season (June to September), it can take up to 4 - 6 weeks. It's best to apply at least 6 weeks before your planned travel to avoid any delays. As an international student, you can work up to 20 hours per week during term time and full-time during vacations, but self-employment and permanent full-time jobs are not permitted. If you need more guidance on planning your transition, please reach out.
