Would it be allowed under UK law to work in a full-time job but still do a PhD in Maths and Finance?
I'm hoping to become a full-time trainee accountant once I finish my Master's Degree in mathematics and gain a Level 4 Diploma as an accounts technician, but sitting a PhD would be additional income of £13K-£19K per year! Doing both would make me quite well-off for a young man, but would it be allowed?

Answer 1 :
There is no law against two jobs, as long as you pay the appropriate tax.
Answer 2 :
You can work as much as you want if you're from the UK. Immigrants, however, have a limit on the number of hours they can work as students. Think it's 20 hours per week.
Answer 3 :
Why on earth do you think it might not be? Many thousands of people have full time jobs and do open university or part time courses. If doing the degree interfered with your current job then your employers might have something to say but it is nothing whatsoever to do with the government.
Answer 4 :
My son has a PhD and it was full time. He was sponsored by BP and had to be in the office and laboratory every day. PhDs are very hard work that is why they are so sought after by employers. There is no law against having a job as well, but your professor might have something to say about it. UK
Answer 5 :
what possible laws would you be breaking??? the main factor would be TIME - would classes and school access be available after work hours? if you want to be an Accountant, you be be majoring in Accounting/Business, not Math getting a Masters in Math is a total waste of time and money and will get you ZERO additional income if you are working in Accounting - what is your Bachelor's degree in?
