Do MSc students generally take on paid work to help cover the costs of studying?
This is very variable, and depends on the student’s individual financial circumstances. Studying for an MSc is essentially a full-time commitment, and it can be very demanding to take on paid work in addition. However, we recognize that for many students this is a necessity, and most students in this situation cope with taking on some paid work per week. We recommend that 20 hours per week should be an absolute maximum. Overseas students with a study visa are usually permitted to take on paid work up to 20 hours per week. The University Union provides a ‘Joblink’ service which helps students find paid employment in Leeds.
