Some points for attention in studying abroad and looking for a job in Britain

From some countries with the highest tuition fees in the world to one with the highest cost of living, studying in Britain costs a lot of money. Foreign students are allowed to work part-time in Britain. You can work up to 2 hours a week during the semester and holidays. If you want to work, you must abide by many restrictions and conditions. Let's take a look at some points for attention in studying abroad and looking for a job in the UK.

Job qualifications

Whether you are qualified to work in the UK during your study in the UK mainly depends on two major restrictions: one is the restrictions set by the university you are studying in, and the other is the restrictions set by the official institutions. First of all, before dealing with state officials, you must make sure that your university will not have any restrictions that prevent you from working. Depending on your course of study, some universities may limit your working hours.

In Britain, especially in a big city like London, international students can easily find a part-time job. Some universities may only allow you to work on campus, but there is no need to worry, because you still have many choices. Before you go out to look for a part-time job, you must check whether you are qualified to do such a job. It all started with your Tire4, the official student visa in the UK. The first criterion is your age. If you are under the age of 16 and don't have a Tire4 (ordinary visa), you are not qualified to work in the UK.

Please note that these work bans are only for students from a certain country, not students from EU/EEA countries or Switzerland. Citizens of the EU/EEA, including Switzerland, can work in the UK without obtaining permission to work during their university years.

all conditions and restrictions are printed on your Tire4 (small illustration), including the number of hours you can work during the semester each week. When you receive your residence permit, a letter will provide you with all the information.

If one of the following conditions is stated in the letter, you can work in the UK:

? Work must be authorized

　? Able to work as authorized by the Secretary of State

　? Work as in Tier 4 Rules

　? Restricted as in Tier 4 Rules

　? Restricted work – Part-time during term-time， Full-time during vacations

　? Limit working hours

? During the semester, work up to 2 hours a week

? During the semester, work up to 1 hours a week

The label on your passport may be different from the above options, but if none of the following options are mentioned, you are qualified to work.

　? No job

? Prohibition of work

If these are not clearly stated in your written documents, or if you have any questions about understanding, we suggest that you contact them personally before you decide to look for a job.

Please note that if you decide to transfer to a higher level of study or change courses, you may need a new immigration application. You must keep your original immigration status until you receive a reply to your new application.

how many hours are you allowed to work each week?

In Britain, how many hours you are allowed to work also depends on the type of courses you study. The following shows how many hours you can work according to the course type.

Students can work 2 hours a week:

? Studying full-time degree or above in an accredited higher education institution

? Short-term registered students in foreign universities and colleges settled in the UK

Students are allowed to work 1 hours a week:

? Attend full-time courses below bachelor's degree funded by public higher education institutions of recognized institutions

? Students over the age of 16 who hold a Tire4(Child) visa are not allowed to work during their study in the UK:

courses at any level provided by private higher education institutions

any courses with Tyre 4 (child) visa for students under 16 years old

In the UK, your working hours will be limited, depending on the type of courses you are studying and the type of Tyre 4 sponsor. Whether your job is paid or not, full-time students can work up to 2 hours a week. You can't misappropriate these hours at will, because there is a legal definition. According to this rule, a week is seven days from Monday to Sunday.
