Will my part-time job during my master's help justify the academic gap in my application?
16 Jun 2026 · Answered by Leeladhar S · 1 min read
A part-time job during your master's can help explain any academic gaps by showing your ability to manage responsibilities and gain practical skills. Just make sure your work does not affect your studies, and always follow your university's and visa's work hour limits. This balanced approach will strengthen your profile.
