In most cases eligible full-time students can work part-time during studies and full-time during scheduled breaks. The exact rules and hour limits are set by UAE and change periodically, so we confirm the current allowance for your situation.
Can I stay and work in UAE after I graduate?
Many graduates of eligible institutions can apply for a post-study work permit, which builds local work experience and, for some, a path toward residence. Eligibility depends on your program and school, which we check before you enroll.

You cover tuition plus living costs and prove sufficient funds for your stay. The minimum amount and accepted documents are set by UAE and updated periodically, so we give you the current figure and the exact paperwork a visa officer accepts.
