International students in Bern are allowed to work a maximum of 15 hours a week, which can be deemed pretty low compared to the part-time work allowances in some other European countries.

Finding part time jobs in Switzerland is not an easy ask, & the same can be said for using it as a means to pay your monthly bills, since the allowed work hours are very much limited.
