STUDY AND WORK

Most international students on a Student Visa can work part-time during their studies, and full-time during scheduled semester breaks. Masters by Research and PhD students can work unlimited hours — often in roles related to their field of study.

The most common jobs for students include work in hospitality (bars, restaurants, cafés), retail (clothing and department stores), or seasonal work such as fruit picking during the summer holidays.
