Question
How many hours can I work while studying in Ireland?
IrelandAsked by Ananya K.8 July 2026✨ Expert answer
Non-EEA students in full-time IUA courses can work up to 20 hours per week during term time and 40 hours per week during vacation periods (June-September and December-January). Ireland's minimum wage is €13.50/hour (2026). Working 20 hours/week generates approximately €1,080/month. You need a valid student visa and PPS number to work legally.
