Work while U Study
International students enrolled in a full time study can work for a limited number of hours (15 hours per week) during the academic year and full-time in vacations, but it is difficult for them to earn enough in these periods to support themselves. Students should have sufficient funds from home to meet their requirements of average living expenses.
