Opportunity, with context
Understand the rules before making the move.
Student immigration
- Non-EU degree students generally obtain temporary authorisation to stay before entry, an entry visa if required and then the student residence permit, following Guichet's current instructions.
Work and future scope
- Student residence holders generally may undertake salaried work averaging up to 15 hours weekly over one month outside study time.
- Defined holiday and research exceptions apply.
Career outcomes depend on skills, experience, language, recognition, local demand and employer decisions. A degree is not a job, visa or permanent-residence guarantee.
