Working in the UK

Student work can be a rewarding opportunity to make some extra money, meet new people, enhance your career prospects and experience working life in the UK. It's really important to understand and comply with your Student visa work rights, restrictions and University recommendations.

Students with full-time 'assessed and integral' placements must stay connected with the University. Non-assessed placements must fit within your term-time work limit. Adding new placements may affect your Student visa.

International students are encouraged to stand for election as a Sabbatical Officer. Student visa holders are permitted to take a position as a Sabbatical Officer in the Students' Association.

There are different types of work visas for the UK. Each visa route has different requirements to meet. Certain work visa routes are may be sponsored, and some may lead to settlement in the UK. Certain work visa routes may allow you to switch from inside the UK (after studies).
