You will be able to work part-time (up to 20 hours per week) during term time and full-time during vacation periods on a UK Student visa for your Master's program. However, current UK immigration rules do not permit most Master's students to bring dependants, so family members generally cannot accompany you as visa dependants unless you are in a PhD or government-sponsored program. If your main goal is to support family while studying, this may be difficult under the current visa rules. If you wish to discuss your particular situation or look for possible exceptions, please reach out to your LeapScholar counsellor for further guidance.
