Part-time work around Les Roches depends heavily on the campus country. Students should check visa rules before planning their budget, because Switzerland, Spain and the UAE have different work-permission expectations for international students.

Work Planning By Campus

Campus	What students should consider
Crans-Montana, Switzerland	Resort-town hospitality work may exist, but non-EU students must check Swiss student work rules carefully
Marbella, Spain	Tourism, hospitality, restaurant and events work may be seasonal, especially around resort demand
Abu Dhabi, UAE	Students should verify UAE student visa and work-permit rules before accepting any paid work

Common Student Job Areas

Depending on eligibility, language skills and local hiring needs, students may look for:

• Hotel front office support
• Restaurant service roles
• Cafe or barista work
• Event assistant roles
• Resort and tourism support
• Retail or luxury retail assistant roles
• Campus ambassador work
• Administrative assistant roles
• Tutoring or language support
• Social media or content support for small businesses

Hospitality Skills That Help

Les Roches students may have an advantage for hospitality-related part-time work because their studies build relevant skills. Employers may value:

• Guest service confidence
• Professional presentation
• Food and beverage basics
• Multilingual communication
• Reliability and punctuality
• Comfort working with international customers
• Awareness of luxury service standards

Switzerland Considerations

Students at Crans-Montana should be realistic. Switzerland can be expensive, and part-time work should not be the main funding plan. Students should also confirm whether they can work during term time, when they can start working after arrival and what paperwork is required.

Hospitality and tourism work may be connected to hotels, restaurants, resorts and seasonal demand, but language ability can matter. French can be helpful in Valais, while English may be useful in international hospitality settings.

Spain Considerations

Marbella has a strong hospitality, tourism and luxury-service economy. Students may find opportunities linked to restaurants, hotels, events, retail, sports clubs and summer tourism, but competition and seasonality can affect availability.

Spanish language skills can make a major difference. Students who can communicate with both international guests and local teams will usually have more options.

Abu Dhabi Considerations

Abu Dhabi has a growing hospitality and tourism sector, but students must check legal work permission before accepting employment. The right route may depend on visa conditions, employer sponsorship and current UAE regulations.

Students should speak to the campus support team before making work plans. It is safer to treat internships and approved career opportunities as the main professional route unless paid part-time work is clearly permitted.

Budget Advice For Students

Students should not choose Les Roches assuming part-time work will cover tuition or major living costs. A safer plan is to:

• Confirm total tuition and living costs before applying
• Keep emergency funds for the first semester
• Understand local visa work rules
• Build language skills early
• Use internships strategically
• Ask the campus career team about compliant work options

For most international students, part-time work can support experience and small expenses, but the main value of Les Roches is the structured internship and career pathway.
