International students on a Student Visa

International students sponsored on a Student Visa, and who are subject to restrictions on the number of hours they can work each week for immigration reasons, should be aware that the official University term dates and vacation periods relate to undergraduate courses only. Student Visa holders on any other type of course, including Postgraduate Taught and Postgraduate Research courses, should refer to our Immigration and Compliance pages or contact us using this form for further information about rights to work in the UK. Exceeding the permitted number of working hours when studying in the UK on a Student Visa is a serious breach of the conditions of your visa.
