U.K.
is one of the few countries that allows international students to
work even outside the campus. Students can work upto 20 hours per
week during the semester and full-time during vaccations.
Please
note that MBA is a very intensive program and you would have lot
of assignments and projects to do at any time. It is not easy to
take out time to do any extra work during the semester.
Contrary
to popular belief, students are able to obtain part-time
employment quite easily in bigger cities like London and
Birmingham. Students are entitled to work full time during the
holidays. There is no permission required for most international
students to take part-time and vacation work. Students can take up
placements or internship placements, which are part of a
�sandwich course�.
Usually, most jobs are minimum wage jobs like work in fast food
joints and department stores. The higher paid jobs involve working
in call centres. You should also explore opportunities available
in your university.
Approximate
part-time earnings: 4 - 5 Pound Sterling per hour.
You should not plan on earning substantial money from a part-time
job to help pay for your studies.
It
is important to find a good internship opportunity during your
program. Not only do you get paid well if you work with a good
organisation but also, it increases your employability on
completion of the MBA program.
For further details about internships and part-time work
opportunities, contact the foreign student adviser at the
university, after you are enrolled.
