Information for
International Students
Check your passport to see whether you are entitled to work in
the UK during your studies. If you have a Tier 4 Student Visa you
are normally entitled to work 20 hours per work during
term-time and full-time during vacations and on work
placements. If you are unsure about your entitlement to work,
contact the International Office at the University.
If you are employed or
looking for work, you must have a NI number (or have at least
applied for one). NI contributions help finance the National Health
Service (NHS). By making contributions, you also build up your
entitlement to certain social security benefits, including the
State Pension.
If you don't already have a NI number you must apply for one:
- as soon as you start work
- as soon as you or your partner claims benefit
To apply for a NI number, you will need to telephone the
Jobcentre plus National Insurance allocation service helpline on
0845 600 0643. They will make sure you need a
number and arrange for you to undertake an evidence of identity
interview.
During this interview you will be asked to supply the following
information:
- name
- address
- telephone number
- nationality
- employer’s name and contact details
- if you are an
overseas student, confirmation that you hold a valid student
visa
- if you are an EEA national, confirmation of your
nationality
You are allowed to work while you are waiting for your NI number
to be issued.
