Choose a study destination and open the official student visa/residence source that controls work rights, rather than relying on a stale “20 hours everywhere” article. The useful output is not just the number: it is the number together with the assumptions and eligibility checks that can change what you should do next.

What this calculator uses

The inputs on this page are Study destination, What you need to verify. The calculation uses the values you enter for Study destination, What you need to verify and returns the planning output described by the tool.

How to read the result

Work rights depend on immigration status, study level, course, term/holiday periods and policy changes. The returned government source is where the rule must be confirmed.

What the number does not prove

Immigration rules are time-sensitive and status-specific. The responsible government authority controls visa eligibility, work rights, dependants, funds and post-study permissions.

Best next step

Use the result as a pre-screen and route finder only. Recheck the current government rule immediately before filing or making a financial/travel commitment.

Verify the governing ruleThis page explains a planning method, not a universal licensing rule. If your credential has a mandatory total, category, provider, or reporting rule, use the issuing authority as the final source.
Important: This is a planning aid. Universities, scholarship providers, immigration authorities, recognition bodies and professional regulators control their own decisions and changing requirements.
