Work volunteering and your visa

Volunteering

The University of Leeds has a dedicated Volunteering team to help you to access volunteering opportunities during your time in Leeds. 

Work placements

As part of your course, you might choose to do a work placement. Find out more about what you are allowed to do.

Work restrictions

If you're planning to work during your studies, you'll need to be aware of any restrictions that might affect you.

Working during study

Doing part-time paid and voluntary work is a great way to get to know British people and culture and gain valuable work experience for your future career.

Working in the UK after study

If you're an international student and you would like to work in the UK after graduating then please be aware of the immigration rules that apply to you.

Working as a Sabbatical Officer

International students are encouraged to stand for election as a Sabbatical Officer and students with a Tier 4/Student visa are permitted to take a position as a Sabbatical Officer in the Leeds University Union.
