    Hi, guys, Selma from Coventry. A lot of students choose to work part time while they are studying to experience new things, meet new people and make a bit of pocket money. So while you're a student, you can work part time, which in the UK is 20 hours a week. However, during the holidays, you can work up to full time. Most universities, including Coventry, will have resources to enable you to get part time work. This could be at restaurants. It could be within the university or something local in your town.
