## Summer and vacation work

Working over the summer is a great way to gain experience and develop your skills.

**Important:** Most international students will be able to work full-time during vacations, however there are some restrictions that may apply to you. [Check your eligibilty and the term dates](https://student.sussex.ac.uk/international/visas/during-studies/working-during-studies) before you start work so you don’t exceed the hours stipulated by your visa.

Seasonal work could include:

- summer youth camps
- language school support roles
- lifeguarding
- customer service
- social care or child care.

### Internships
