Are you interested in earning a little extra spending money or improving your CV by Working While Studying in the UK in 2023? If so, it is important to be fully aware of what you can and cannot do on your student visa in regard to working in the UK.

If you are thinking of applying to study in the UK and need more information about courses, universities, and scholarships, arrange a free consultation at our offices in Lagos or Abuja today!

How many hours can a full-time student work in the UK?

During term time, Nigerian students can work for a maximum of:

  • 20 hours a week if you are studying at the undergraduate or master’s level at a higher education institution
  • 20 hours a week if you are on a study abroad program at an “overseas higher education institution” in the UK
  • 10 hours a week if you are studying a course that is below degree (college or English program) level at an HEI

There are no working restrictions for students from the European Union (EU), but whether Brexit changes this is still unclear. Your work conditions, including the maximum hours you can work during term time, are normally printed on your visa sticker or Biometric Residence Permit.

How is a week defined?

Immigration rules define a week as a “period of 7 days beginning with a Monday”. If you have irregular hours or more than one employer, it is up to you to keep detailed records so that you are not in danger of invalidating your visa restrictions.

How is the term time defined?

Each higher education institution has clearly defined semesters throughout the academic year, including specific breaks for holidays such as Christmas, Easter, and summer. During these breaks, you can work full-time at your job if you wish. Since 2014, employers have had a legal obligation to check your term dates before you can start work.
Best part-time jobs for international students

Working part-time includes additional spending money, improving your English, and acquiring key skills which will benefit your future and CV. If you are interested in finding part-time work in the UK, there are a variety of different options to choose from.

Jobs such as a coffee shop barista or a clothing sales assistant are easy to find, especially in larger cities such as London, Birmingham, and Manchester, but why not enquire with your school about available roles? Many institutions have positions readily available for students, and it looks great on your CV as well!

The Tier 4 (General) Student Visa was rebranded as the Student Visa at the end of 2020 and in June 2021, the Graduate Visa was also introduced, allowing international student graduates to look for work in the UK for 2-3 years (degree dependent) after graduation. To be eligible for a Student Visa in the UK, you must have received a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies, and meet the points-based immigration system threshold.

SI-UK’s Student Visa Service offers advice and assistance to international students wishing to obtain a UK visa, specializing in:
