The UK may lift the work-hour limit for international students?

According to reports, international students may be allowed to work longer hours.

A total of 6, 80,000 international students in the UK are permitted to work for 20 hours per week, but the government is considering raising the work-hour limit to 30 hours or eliminating it.

Since the pandemic, the United Kingdom has faced a labour shortage and an economic downturn. There are 1.3 million vacant positions, and job vacancies are increasing, according to sources. 

Chancellor Jermy Hunt has also expressed an interest in improving the workflow. To combat inflation caused by high vacancy rates.

Suella Braverman is also planning to reduce the number of foreigners entering the country, which could be accomplished by reducing the graduate route visa from two years to six months.

Many people, including university stakeholders and members of the Bravermans party, criticized this proposal. The departments of education and international trade are both opposed to reducing the length of post-study visas.

 

Directors of Universities UK International have expressed concern about the proposal to allow students to work longer hours in addition to their studies, claiming that this could negatively impact students’ well-being and learning experience.

He believes that 6, 80,000 international students can impact and contribute to our country’s economy, and that the government should maintain competitive post-study work and recommit to the recent speculation about reducing the graduate route visa.

 

Both Canada and Australia removed working hour limits in 2022 to address labour shortages, but there are concerns that this may distract students from their studies.

Client Testimonial

MBBS Abroad is a big decision and your success depends upon the honesty of your consultant. It is a long process starting from choosing the right college to reaching there at college door step and finally studying there for next 5-6 years. You are in a new country without many old friends. We were sure to approach a consultant who is based out of our district only so that not only during admission but for next 6 years, we can have smooth interactions. So, we approached GKWorks as they have a branch in Saharanpur. As we anticipated, there are lot of things to be done during admission process that goes for 3-4 months. At every step, it was useful for us to have our consultant who was only 20 minutes’ drive from our home. We were able to discuss everything face to face any day and thus were able to have easy process.

Best thing about Vivek Gupta Sir is his selfless counselling. As I am already a BSC/ MSC, he suggested me to go to Philippines as I was able to get straight admission into MD and this finishes my entire course in 4 years flat. In any other country, it would have taken by 5.5-6 years. Ms Kanimojhi in Chennai office of GKWorks was equally supportive in coordination regarding documents, departure and all other formalities.

We live 100 Km’s away from Varanasi. The internet connection in our town is very weak and my parents are not that educated. For us, understanding the word RTGS was also very difficult. Thanks to Amit Pandey Sir, who is Gkworks Varanasi incharge, he helped us to do all small things. Going with us to get forex to helping us doing RTGS for fee payment, he was always there with us. He only helped us to apply for passport online and went with us to passport office Varanasi. Such support at ground level was provided by GKworks team both in Varanasi and Delhi.

My parents were not very comfortable to send me abroad especially my mother as I am the only son of my parents. I really wanted to become a doctor and thus approached Hemant Mishra Sir, director of Bareilly branch of GKWorks. He went out of his way to convince my mother. He would have come 5 times to my home, invited us to his office and home 10 times before my mother was finally convinced. It is only due to Hemant Sir in Bareilly that I am pursuing my course today. I wish GKworks and especially Bareilly branch all the very best to help many more students for their life dreams.
