Can I work?
You can take part-time or holiday work, but you must not:

work for more than 20 hours a week during term time unless your placement is part of your studies, has been agreed with your educational institution and leads to a degree or qualification awarded by a nationally recognised examining body
do business, be self-employed or provide services as a professional sportsperson or entertainer, or
work full-time in a permanent job.

If you are coming to the UK as a student for six months or less, you must ask the Entry Clearance Officer (or the Immigration Officer if you do not need an entry clearance) for permission to work.
Back to questions



Can I switch to work permit employment when I am in the UK?
You may be able to switch if:

you have completed a recognised degree course at either a UK publicly-funded institution of further or higher education or an approved private education institution that has satisfactory records of enrolment and attendance
you hold a valid work permit for employment
and
you have been sponsored by a government or agency and you have their written permission to remain in the UK in a different category
and
you have not broken immigration law.

Your financial will be tested before the embassy can give you a visa

and

that's why people who holds student visa here are allowed to work so they can support themselves.
