Employment in London

Part-time Work and Work-Study

Students on Tier 4 visas have the option to work part-time during their time in London. However, they are restricted to a maximum of 20 hours per week during term time to ensure work does not interfere with their studies. Previous students have found part-time jobs in restaurants, pubs, and shops. The London Center also offers part-time work in work-study roles in the front office. These shifts, typically around 4 hours, involve tasks such as answering the phone, completing office work, assisting staff with building maintenance, and managing the library. Shifts are assigned based on student availability. While the London Center cannot guarantee work-study shifts, the earnings should be viewed as supplementary income and not relied upon to cover rent or bills. Wages are paid in USD ($) at the same basic hourly rate as on the home campus, processed through IC Finance and HR Cloud. Students do not need to be work-study eligible on the home campus to apply for work-study positions at the ICLC.
