Working Off Campus
On April 29, 2024,听.
Beginning on September 1, 2024, it is expected that international students who are enrolled in full-time studies will be able to work off campus up to a maximum of听24 hours per week听during the academic year (September to April).听Until this number is officially confirmed, the current maximum for off-campus work is 20 hours per week.
Scheduled Breaks
Many academic programs at 麻豆传媒 include scheduled breaks (e.g. summer and winter holidays, reading weeks, and the time between academic terms). During scheduled breaks, there is no limit on the number of hours per week international students may work off campus IF:
- their academic program includes scheduled breaks (e.g no classes during summer holidays);
- they were enrolled in full-time studies before the break; and,
- they will be enrolled in full-time studies after the break.
Academic Programs without Scheduled Breaks
However, international students who are enrolled in programs with no scheduled breaks (e.g. continuous study from start to completion) are limited to 20 hours per week of off-campus work (or 24 hours per week, if/when officially confirmed) for the duration of their program.听The only exceptions are during reading weeks and the time between academic terms.
