As long as you're finding a balance between working and studying, then finding part-time work can be a great way to earn money, meet others and gain crucial workplace skills like time management, team working and problem solving.
To keep your studies on track, the University recommends working up to 20 hours per week during semester time.
You can find more information on visas, pay and working conditions on the University's webpages.
