Work after study

[kmr]

Can I join a company to work full time after you receive your PGDiploma certificate?

I know I should apply for IGS, but I am referring to the 4 months period that a student have after the completion of his/her studies.

Its like join the company once u apply for IGS no matter of what the result is and work for 4 months and more if you get IGS?

cheers

If you make an application before your conditions as a student expire, you continue to have leave to enter/remain as a student until a decision is made.

If you go and fill a full-time permanent vacancy, you could be in breach of your conditions.

Arguably you should still be bound by the "20 hours per week in term-time" rule, and only work more than 20hours during the academic holidays of the institution where you have been studying. You have been fortunate in concluding your studies a full 4 months before your leave expires. Sometimes people are given a couple of months extra at the end of their course to take a holiday, not to work, and there's nothing specific that I know of in the rules which exempts you from the normal terms applying to students.

However, the Operational Enforcement Manual does preface its remarks about serving papers for a Section 10 offence of Working in Breach thus:
"The breach must be of sufficient gravity to warrant such action."

Up to you
