As an international student, one can work upto 20 hours per week during studies. However, there is no limit on the number of hours international students can work during their semester breaks or vacations.

The UK has very strict rules when it comes to work hours for international students and therefore, students are advised not to exceed the work hour limit, as doing the same could lead to the revokation of the UK study visa and subsequently, deportation from the country.

The rules and regulations vary for every student housing facility off campus in Norwich. Students are advised to contact the Student Union at UEA, for some helpful practical information about living in privately rented homes as well as other services like Council Tax, Insurance and Utilities via their online support pages.
