Work Options in UK
International students pay higher tuition fees than domestic students and also fund their accommodation and living costs. Fortunately, there is support available and opportunities for part-time work to top up funds.
Part-time work:
- A student working part-time has the same rights as a full-time employee.
- The UK has a National Minimum Wage (NMW) that all employers must abide by.
- The NMW for a student aged between 18 and 20 is £5.30 per hour; for those 21 and over,
- the NMW is £6.70 per hour.
Note:
Note: To work part-time while studying, a National Insurance number is required. This ensures all tax and national insurance contributions made while working are recorded correctly.
