Overview

What if we told you that you could handle your expenses in the UK by working part-time while you studied? With the right budget, you could also save a good amount of money. Apart from making money, another benefit is the opportunity to spend time among the locals getting to know them and their culture on a deeper level.

Job Options to Study in UK

While international students cannot work freelance, there are several easy job options for Indian students pursuing higher studies in the UK. Here are a few options:

  • Retail:

Working at a supermarket, clothing store, or any other retail store is ideal for students as they offer flexible working hours, giving you the opportunity to plan your time efficiently. You can also develop your people skills as these types of jobs require you to interact with customers regularly. You can also get to know a diverse range of locals while you enhance your conversational skills.

 

  • Hospitality:

Hospitality jobs in UK involve working in restaurants, cafés, or hotels. Although these jobs may require some prior experience in the same field, many establishments are willing to train their staff. Working in hospitality can help you build your endurance and learn new skills which you can use at home. You might even get nice benefits depending on the workplace.

 

  • Tutoring:

Students who are pursuing higher studies in UK may be able to offer tutoring services to other students who need help. According to your schedule, you can opt for online or in-person tutoring. Tutoring allows you to emphasise your academic skills and can help you decide if you wish to take the path of a teacher. It can be a great way to earn some extra money along with gaining teaching experience, which will help you in future. You will also help others improve their learning and thus do better in their academics.

 

  • Delivery job:

Delivery driver jobs are easy to find and they also offer flexible schedules. The only catch is that you must have a driving licence which is valid in the UK. You can always take the exam if you have enough knowledge of the UK rules and regulations and hands-on experience of driving a car or bike. Many companies that provide food delivery services and courier services are always looking for drivers, so getting your licence would be well worth it.

 

  • Part-time administrative work:

If you want a desk job, apply for part-time administrative work. This type of job includes tasks like data entry, answering phones, and organising paperwork. These jobs are often easy to find, need no prior work experience, and can offer flexible schedules. Thus, they can be the perfect complement to your university life, while allowing you to earn money.

 

  • Campus jobs:

Many universities in the United Kingdom offer on-campus jobs to students, for instance, library assistants, research assistants, and student ambassadors. These jobs are easy to find and can be a great way to earn money while studying. They are also practical as you would save time commuting.

 

Note

It's important to note that international students in the UK are limited to working up to 20 hours per week during course time, so it's important to balance work and studies carefully. You can work up to 40 hrs on your vacation.

Conclusion

To summarise, regardless of your work experience, the United Kingdom has several job opportunities for Indian students. No work is small, rather it adds more credits to your profile, and you get to learn new things from everywhere.
