The UK Study & Work Experience programme is an ideal opportunity for both EU and non-EU students to upgrade their English language skills not only in a class-room situation but also in an everyday working environment, while at the same time earning money to subsidise living expenses:

Citizens of the EU and Switzerland do not require a Visa or Work Permit to take up salaried employment in the United Kingdom. (EU Member States: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom).

Non-EU citizens require a STUDENT VISA to enter and work in the United Kingdom, granted by your nearest British Embassy. Our UK Study & Work Experience programme offers paid hotel work and leads to the Cambridge Certificate in Work Experience or the Advanced Certificate in Work Experience. As this is a recognised training programme, it is the best and quickest way to apply for and be granted a Student Visa. Do you need a Visa?
