Working in Brighton
Many students coming to Brighton may be interested in one of the school's work programmes where you may find a job outside of your study time to practise your English in a professional environment.
The school can help you find a job for basic experience (Work & Study Programme - English in the Workplace) or find you a specific position in your particular field of expertise (Work Experience - Career Development).

Managing your School & Work Timetable
Work placements can be combined with any combination of study at the school. Some students study 15 hours per week in the mornings & work in the afternoon, others choose to work during the day and study 6 hours per week Business English on Monday and Wednesday evenings. Our flexible classes timetable will allow you to manage you time without losing any pre-paid study periods.
Work Permit & UK VISA Information
It is crucial that students are aware of the law concerning work before applying to work in the UK.
Students from countries in the European Union may work unlimited hours. Students from non-European Union countries may work in the UK subject to VISA permissions. A Residents Permit (previously known as a Student VISA) allows a student to work part-time in the UK, which is a maximum of 20 hours per week. It is illegal for students from non-European Union countries who arrive in the UK with a Visitors VISA to work.
It is strongly recommended that non-Euroupean Union students apply for their UK VISA in their own country before travelling to the UK in order to gain the correct documentation.
Level of English
Students wishing to attend a work experience programme need to have AT LEAST an intermediate level of English. If you are in doubt please contact ISE staff who will email a test to you. Students who arrive with an inadequate level of English will be asked to study full time at the school until a suitable level of English is achieved.
