Working after your studies
If you're an international student with a Tier 4 visa, you can work full-time during an official University holiday, or after successful completion of your course (CAS end date). There are a number of schemes that allow international students to stay on and work after their studies. You can explore your options on the UKCISA website, or speak to our international student adviser in the Student Hub.
