Work & Study English Programmes
Work-and-study lets you offset living costs while you learn — but only in specific countries, and usually only on longer courses.
Done right, work-and-study makes a long stay affordable. Done wrong, it breaks your visa. Know the rules first.
Where it's allowed
Common work-and-study destinations:
- Ireland — 20 hrs/week on ILEP courses (Stamp 2)
- Australia — 48 hrs/fortnight (subclass 500)
- New Zealand — 20 hrs/week on 14+ week courses
Budget realistically
Part-time work rarely covers everything, especially in high-rent cities — treat earnings as a top-up, not your whole budget.
