Your right to work

The NISAU Careers Hub is free careers guidance for Indian students in the UK: your work rights at every visa stage, the rules for working while you study, and how to get hired. Written by the organisation that won the Graduate Route back. We are not agents. We don't take commissions.

Careers guidance for international students usually comes with a commercial angle. Ours is free and independent: we ran the world's longest international student campaign to win the Graduate Route back, defended it at the MAC review, and answer to 180,000+ students and alumni. When the rules change, you will read it here first. And the International Graduate Talent initiative, connecting Indian graduates with UK employers, is coming soon.

Most degree-level students can work 20 hours a week in term time and full time during official vacations. Some work, including self-employment, is not allowed on a Student visa. Our working-while-you-study guide explains the rules and how to stay on the right side of them.
