Personal Tutor

Employment Opportunities
Most students on courses lasting more than 6 months will be given a passport stamp or visa sticker that allows them to work part-time during the term (10-20 hours a week) and any number of hours during College holidays. However, students cannot rely on expected income from part-time and vacation work as evidence of financial resources when dealing with the UK immigration authorities.
