Many of these student-migrants, in supplementing their finances to fund their studies in the United Kingdom, undertake employment. Temporary and/or part-time employment is integral to the student-migrant experience, despite the express purpose of their admission into the United Kingdom designated for study purposes and not work. This explicit object is reflected in restrictions affixed to international students' employment rights whilst studying; they are generally restricted to a maximum of twenty hours of work per week during term time and proscribed from working full time or as independent contractors. Given the scant regard this topic has received in the existing literature, this study offers an examination of students' lived employment experiences under these rules. The study aims to offer a contribution, first in respect of the employment experiences of student-migrants through the analytical framework of 'precarity' by examining the various manifestations of insecurity in the students' lived realities, nuanced by structures of migration control and labour market temporalities. Secondly, by adopting the socio-legal schema of legal consciousness, the study considers the student-migrants' relationship with the law by way of the legal restrictions on their employment and examines their agency as evidenced through efforts to derogate from these rules.African studentsGreat BritainAfricansEducation (Higher)Students, ForeignEmploymentLaw and legislationGreat BritainStudents, ForeignLegal status, laws, etcGreat BritainAfrican studentsAfricansEducation (Higher)Students, ForeignEmploymentLaw and legislationStudents, ForeignLegal status, laws, etc.378.1982960941Marson James1678598Ferris KatyDirisu MohammedUkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9911046573103321The lived experiences of African international students in the UK4470194UNINA
