Can international students work part-time while studying at Birmingham?

Yes, you can. If you are in the UK on a valid Student Visa, you are legally permitted to work up to 20 hours per week during term time and full-time during official university holidays. The university also runs a ‘Guild Jobs’ service to help you find flexible roles directly on campus, ensuring your job doesn’t interfere with your lecture schedule.
