Will I get part-time job opportunities while studying abroad, and how soon can I start working after arrival in Ireland for a Master's?

Yes, you will have part-time job opportunities while studying in Ireland for your master's. International students can work up to 20 hours per week during term and up to 40 hours per week during official holidays.

You can start working after you arrive, enroll full-time, and receive your Stamp 2 student permission and Personal Public Service (PPS) number, which is needed for legal employment in Ireland.

Common part-time jobs include roles in retail, hospitality, office administration, and on-campus positions. Part-time work helps with living expenses but may not cover all costs, so initial funds are important.

If you need support understanding work rights or finding part-time jobs, your Leap counsellor can assist after you arrive.
