WORKING RULES
You may only work the number of hours permitted by your visa
– for most Imperial students this is 20 hours per week during
term time (check your visa).
Term time will be different depending on your level of study.
Undergraduate students may work full-time hours during official
College vacation periods. For dates go to
▸ www.imperial.ac.uk/admin-services/registry/term-dates
Postgraduate students do not generally have the same official
vacation periods as undergraduate students and will be
expected to adhere to the 20 hours per week rule until the
official end date of their course. For PhD students, this means
after final thesis corrections have been submitted.
All students can work full-time hours for the final four months
left on their visa but only after their official course end date.
