If you are on a full-time Tier 4 visa, you must only work as much as your visa allows. You could face serious penalties for any error, including deportation.
If you hold a full-time Tier 4 visa, there are limits on the number of hours you are allowed to work in the UK, paid or unpaid, for any organisation. If you breach these restrictions in any way this may result in your visa being cancelled and you being deported from the UK.
work no more than a total of 36.5 hours in any one week (Mon to Sun) during 'vacation time'. This varies depending on whether you are an undergraduate, postgraduate taught or doctoral student.
More information on this is provided on the working in the UK during your studies web page.
To protect you and the University, we have developed a Tier 4 Booking System. You can use it to book work, see how many hours you are able to work in a week, and get paid for the work you do.
You will only be paid for work completed at the University of Bath if it has been booked in advance on the Tier 4 Booking System.
The booking system is for paid workers only, and only covers the work you do at the University of Bath.
It is your responsibility to make sure that other work you do, paid or unpaid, does not exceed the total number of hours your visa allows. Before you agree to carry out any work, you must make sure it would not mean you work more hours than you are permitted, especially if you do other work, paid or unpaid, for any other organisation.
