When it comes to regulations around working on a student visa in Canada it can be a little confusing. We’ve organised all the facts for you, so you can start earning that extra cash without worrying. 

Now that you have your US student visa ready and you are about to begin your studies in the US, it’s time to see if you are able to work part-time to help fund your studies.

Do I need a study abroad adviser? 

While it’s not a strict requirement, having a study abroad adviser can be highly beneficial, especially if you’re planning to study in a foreign country. Study abroad advisers are a great resource for anyone considering education in a new country. Equipped with up-to-date information and knowledge, they can help students through every stage of studying abroad.  

Now that you’ve organised your student visa for the UK, it’s worth knowing if you can work while you are studying, as well as how many hours and what kind of work you can do. 

How many hours can I work as an international student in the UK? 

International students can work in the UK if they are on a student or Tier 4 visa. If you are in the UK on a visitor or short-term visa, work is not allowed at any time, including unpaid positions and volunteering. 

The Rhodes Scholarship provides exceptional people from around the world with the life-changing opportunity to study at the University of Oxford.

This time last year, I received an email from the HEC Paris admissions team confirming my admission and scholarship. I was super excited and happy but confused and lost at the same time. It had only been two days since I had settled in Germany after spending months in a refugee camp, uncertain of what the future held when I left my home country after the Taliban took over. 

I had to decide whether to stay in Germany and build a new home or move to France to pursue a master’s degree. 

My name is Paula Vivas. I’m a second-year joint honours BA history and politics and international relations student at Royal Holloway, University of London. As a student ambassador at Royal Holloway, I meet many prospective students who are eagerly awaiting their A-level results but are often terrified about not getting into university. I always remind them that there’s often another chance – through clearing. It’s great to be able to write about my experience with clearing because it means a lot to me.  

Key Points 

1. What kinds of universities are there in the US? 
2. How do you apply to study in the US? 
3. Is it possible to transfer credits from a university in my home country to a US university? 

A university education is – by design – a life-changing experience, but it is especially so for those who enlist in student exchange programmes and seize the opportunity to study abroad. Living, learning and working in a different culture helps them develop new skills and perspectives, exposing them to new career pathways.
