International Students & Paid Employment

The restrictions on students taking paid employment have been relaxed, so that students are no longer required to seek permission from the Secretary of State for Employment for holiday work or part-time work whilst studying. This also applies to students who wish to complete work experience or an internship as part of their education. Further information can be found at the UK Home Office website, Working in the UK and from Workpermit.com.
