Hello Sangeeta Lama,

Thanks for contacting us regarding the number of hours that a student can work.

I take it that you are currently holding the adult student Tier 4 (General)visa to study here in the UK.

The UKBA (Home office have this to say regarding work on Tier 4 student visa:

"Working while you are in the UK

During your stay, you will be allowed to:

* work part-time (up to 20 hours per week) during term-time;
* work full-time during vacations;
* do a work placement as part of your course;
* work as a postgraduate doctor or dentist (if your course of study is a recognised Foundation Programme); and
* be a student union sabbatical officer for up to two years" - from the UKBA website.

I hope this answers your query.

Please do not hesitate to contact us again, should you have any further query.
