Work and Study
Students can earn money while they learn in Scotland.
Scotland has many part time vacancies available for students, particularly in the service sector, which will enable you to earn some extra money while you are here.
The work experience you gain may not necessarily be in the area you intend to seek employment in after you complete your studies. It does however give you the opportunity to learn and practice transferable skills that will look good on your CV when applying for jobs back home after you graduate.
After you graduate there are also schemes to allow you to remain in Scotland, including
Post Study Work (PSW)
Application form and guidance notes for PSW are available from
UK Border Agency
Please note that if you are applying from abroad you will need to complete the VAF9 – employment form and the PBS Appendix 4. These forms are available on the UK Visas website:
