Master the English language while supporting yourself financially.
For long-term students, the ability to work is a game-changer.
The Work & Study programs in Ireland and Malta are designed for non-EU students who want to study English for 6 months or more. Your student visa grants you the legal right to work part-time, helping you cover your rent and daily expenses.
Work & Study programs combine language education with limited, legally permitted part-time work. Students attend language courses while gaining real-world exposure through part-time employment, subject to local visa regulations.
1. The Course: You enroll in a 25-week English course (15-20 hours per week).

3. The Renewal: You can usually renew this visa up to 2 times (staying for a total of 2 years).
