Working in Uk

sThe College is not responsible for finding student employment. Many international students work part time in the retail, tourism and hospitality industries. However as work cannot be guaranteed, it should be viewed as a supplementary source of funds only and not relied on to cover tuition or living costs.

Hence to summarise:

Students in the Tier 4 (General) category, and students aged 16 or 17 in the Tier 4 (Child) category, are allowed to work while they are in the UK, within the following limits:

  • Students can work 20 hours per week during term time, and do full-time work during vacation periods, if they are studying foundation degree courses or courses at National Qualifications Framework (NQF) level 6 (and equivalents) or above.
  • Students can work 10 hours per week during term time, and do full-time work during vacation periods, if they are studying below NQF level 6 (and equivalents) and are not studying a foundation degree course.
