Working while studying in South Africa
When South Africa rejoined the international community, many global organisations set up operations in the country and created many excellent local work prospects for hard-working, skilled or educated people. Our Student Services team is available to assist students who are searching for work and to help them successfully secure meaningful work while studying.
We are very proud of our achievements to date, having assisted many students with securing meaningful work opportunities, to support them during their studies. According to South African regulations, students are permitted no more than 20 hours of part-time work per week during their semester.
