Yes, it
is possible for you now to work without permission. You
can work for up to twenty hours a week during semester
time, and full time during the vacations.But when you
have your visa interview you cannot say that you hope
to get a job to pay your fees. |
You
must have evidence that you have already been offered a job,
and this is very difficult to get. No employer is going to offer
a job to somebody he or she knows nothing about. Let's imagine
that once you get to Britain you are lucky enough to get a job
that pays you say £4 an hour. If you work twenty hours a week
this will give you £80. This is hardly going to contribute a
great deal towards your fees. The purpose of letting you work
is to allow you to earn some pocket money to make life a little
more comfortable.
Also, think about
this. Degree programmes (both undergraduate and postgraduate)
in Britain are shorter than in other countries. This is because
they are much more intensive and being a student is a full
time occupation in itself. There will be very little time
left for you to work and certainly not enough time to earn
enough to pay all of your fees. If you tried to do this you
would become very tired, possibly even ill, and your academic
studies would certainly suffer.
