# Can international students work while studying?

Yes, non-EU students can work up to 16 hours per week during the semester or full-time in summer, but you need a work permit sponsored by your employer. EU students do not need a work permit. Popular jobs include hospitality, retail, tutoring, and internships. Dutch universities also provide part-time campus opportunities.
