so this is one of the most asked question on my instagram account and also on my youtube channel
that should you work more than 20 hours when you are studying in the uk university so here in this
video i will try my best to answer this particular question the very first thing is like legally in
terms of the government's rules and regulations you're only allowed to work maximum of 20 hours in
a week so you can't exceed more than 20 hours in a particular week so even if it is like 21 hours
22 hours even like one hour extra two hour extra it can cost you a lot now i've also heard some of
the cases where students have worked more than 20 hours but they haven't been caught like they have
been able to get a poor study work visa they have been also able to get a sponsorship as well from
a particular company later on like coming on a skilled worker visa but also i've heard about some
of the cases where the students have exceeded this 20 hours and they haven't been able to get the psw
post study work visa and ultimately like even like i've seen like maybe they've got a post study work
piece that they've got they've been able to get the worker visa but eventually when when they
were applying for the pr there's a detailed study of a particular person and they're they're caught
and they're not able to get a pr so like this is a bit kind of a tricky situation that should you be
able to work more than 20 hours or not so if you ask my own personal opinion when you're coming to
uk think it as a marathon like this is one of the command i was recently reading and i really love
your opinion so feel free to put them down so that guy said like this when you come to uk it's like a
marathon not a race so if you focus on this like short term things like this short term initial
money working more than 20 hours this can lead you a big deal in your long term so my recommendation
here would be that most of the time here you'll be finding the shapes which are eight hours in
like like let's say one day they'll call you eight hours second to eight hours so total of 16 hours
now what the student do is that if they work the third shift which is eight hours extra so it will
be about 24 hours if they don't take that eight hours it will be 16 hours so they've got four
hours space another question comes at what they should do in that extra four hours now there are
two different things very first thing is that they can look for another job so you can actually do
another job as well you can do two jobs as long as you're not exceeding 20 hours so one job you
can work 16 hours and the other job you can work on reduce travel which are four hours and it will
be 20 hours in total so this is the very first option the second option would be that if your
goal is four hours spare my recommendation would be less if you're doing some computer based course
try learning new skills try doing some of the new certifications try improving your cv cover letter
because i said this is a marathon don't worry about like this extra four hours you work 16
hours hopefully you'll be able to manage your living expenses this is a main thing in the
short term but on the extra four hours work when you're getting the certifications try
taking courses on course sarah like you know try watching some of the informative youtube videos on
different skills so try improving your skills in this additional four hours and utilize seven when
you need to actually apply for a sponsored work visa so like this is my another suggestion but
now the other question is that or do the home office know when you're applying for psw that
jason lee has worked more than 20 hours or personally has worked more than 20 hours so
here what the employee so this is responsibility of employer so what the employer does is that
end of the month he will be giving you a pay slip so on the pay slip it shows that how many hours
you have worked in that particular month so let's say let's say like if it's 20 hours so edly should
be working about 80 hours so let's say if we if the employer puts there okay well this like in
this month you work 100 hours so it automatically shows that you've exceeded that uh limit of 20
remote like you've worked more than 20 hours in a week so like that's the point like that's how the
people gets caught up by their payslips which are by which are essentially generated by the employer
so again my my thing here would be that focus on it as a long-term plan not a short-term plan now
if you're thinking that you will be struggling financially over here so in the holidays you can
work full-time so like i'll so i'll tell you one thing so if you work in term time about 16 to 20
hours in a week so you'll be able to manage your living expenses but now let's say if you're like
really financially struggling a lot then unless you're going to pay like one installment of your
fees so in the holidays you can work full time you can work more than 20 hours you can work 30 hours
40 hours sometime people ask me that can i work more than 40 hours in my holidays and the answer
is yes you can work as much as you want you can work 50 hours 60 hours is no restriction at all so
that is how that is like what most of the students do like even including me like when i came here so
in the holidays is the time when i work a lot like during the summer holidays in my case so that time
just try to work a lot and you know you'll be able to actually pay on a little bit of tuition fee and
also you can pay your full living expenses so if you are really financially struggling
this is another option which you can opt for so essentially this is all what i'm going to talk in
