Working while a student
Finding and getting a part time job in Sweden can be a challenge, especially if you do not speak Swedish. Full-time studies in Sweden means approximately a minimum of 40 hours/week of studying, leaving very little time for other things. With this in mind, we do not advise you to try to finance your stay in Sweden by working, but to ensure that you can cover your living costs using other resources before travelling to Sweden.
