Hey guys!
I would like to share with you my story and kindly ask for some advice as I am currently really confused. I have been accepted for a full time PhD programme starting this year in the UK. The scholarship covers both fees and living expenses and it allows me only to work within the department for 6 hours per week. I have been working hard to get that scholarship but in the process of applying for universities I have been offered a legal job. It turned out to be a very responsible job, whereas I do have a great impact on people’s lives (it is immigration law). My question is: do you think it would be ok to study full time and work part time with my current job ? I am a hardworking person, willing to spend all the free time for both studies and job but my real question is: is there any chance that university will be alert that I have additional income which is taxed? I am planning to discuss it with my supervisor but I strongly believe that he would give me a green light. I just don’t want to get in trouble with uni. Did anybody have a similar experience ? I know that people have scholarships and work part time ( on black market as bartenders etc) but did any of you receive a full scholarship (tax free) and work part time (bring taxed)? Many thanks guys!
