How many hours can students work in France?


In France, international students are allowed to work part-time while studying. Here are the key details:

- Working Hours: International students can work up to 964 hours per year, which averages to about 20 hours per week during the academic year.
- During Holidays: During university holidays or breaks, students can work full-time (up to 35 hours per week), as long as the total annual limit (964 hours) is not exceeded.
- Minimum Wage: Students are entitled to receive at least the French minimum wage (SMIC), which is regularly updated by the government.

Important:
- Your student visa/residence permit automatically includes the right to work in France, so you do not need a separate work permit.
- Work hours limits apply to both on-campus and off-campus jobs.
