Working conditions for Tier 4 immigration application on or after 6 April 2010.

During term-time you can work for:

Up to 20 hours a week if you are studying at degree level or above
Up to 20 hours a week if you are studying a foundation degree course
Up to 10 hours a week if you are studying any other type of course
Up to 10 hours a week if you have immigration permission as a Tier 4 (Child) Student.

The UK Border Agency's definition of "foundation degree" is a course which:
Leads to a qualification at level 5 or above of the National Qualifications Framework, and
Is awarded by an English higher education institution which has degree awarding powers, or
The devolved equivalent, if you are studying in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.

Some courses called foundation degrees will not meet this definition, but other courses, which are not called foundation degrees, for example some HNDs, do meet this definition. It covers all Scottish HND courses.
Always check what the sticker in your passport or your biometric residence permit (identity card) says and make sure that you do not work more hours a week than it allows. It should specify whether you are allowed to work 10 hours or 20 hours a week in term-time.

You should not work more than the maximum number of hours (20 or 10) in any one week in term-time, even if you sometimes work under the maximum number of hours a week in other weeks.

You can work full-time during your holidays.
You can do full-time work placements only if
Your Tier 4 sponsor has Highly Trusted Sponsor status, or
Your course is at degree level or above, or
You are studying a foundation degree course, or
You have immigration permission as a Tier 4 (Child) Student and you are at least 16 years old.

If you can do work placements, they must:

Take up 50% or less of your course, unless the law says that you must spend more than half of your course doing work placements, for example, you are studying a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) or, in Scotland, a PGDE course, and

Be an assessed part of your course

Check with your Tier 4 sponsor if it has Highly Trusted Sponsor status. If you do not know whether your course is at the right level for doing work placements, ask your Tier 4 sponsor.
