Funding & budgets
Can part-time work pay my tuition and living costs?
Do not make essential funding depend on obtaining enough paid work. Permission, available jobs, course workload and recruitment demands all constrain earnings. Build a plan you can fund without assumed work income, then treat lawful earnings as additional support. An allowance to work does not guarantee a job or enough hours to cover your commitments.
