Students

If you're an international student you may not need permission to work here when you're studying. If your home country is in the EEA, or you're a Swiss national, you can work without restrictions on the type or amount of work you do.

Otherwise, you should check the visa stamp in your passport. If it says 'prohibited' you can't work in the UK. If it grants you leave to enter or remain in the UK as a student, you can work here provided you:

don't work more than 20 hours a week during term time, unless the employment is part of your studies or is an internship
don't engage in business, are not self-employed and don't provide services as a professional sportsperson or entertainer
don't take a permanent full-time position.
