Work restrictions for international students

If you are coming to the UK on a Student visa (Previously Tier 4) you can work up to 20 hours a week during term time. This doesn’t include work placements that are part of your course.

We’ll help you understand what you can and can’t do under your visa.

Part-time work and your student loans

As a UK undergraduate student living at home, before your course starts the money that you earn from a part-time job should not affect your student loans. This is because the money that you are entitled to depends on your family's household income.

If you are in other circumstances, such as living with a partner or supporting yourself as an independent student, then you will still be assessed on your household income and this may include your part-time earnings.
