Working in New Zealand

International students who are enrolled in full-time programmes of 12 months or more can work up to 20 hours per week during the year and full-time over the summer holidays.

However, you should not rely on this income to cover all your living costs as it is unlikely to be sufficient.

Some conditions apply to working in New Zealand and you must have a Variation of Conditions on your student visa to allow you to do this.

For more information refer to the Immigration New Zealand website.

Student Job Search is a free employment service for students and UC Careers and Employment provides assistance with career planning and job search, and information on graduate vacancies and internships.
