Quick answer
Can Indian students find part-time jobs in Aberdeen?
Yes, within visa rules: up to 20 hours a week in term for degree-level students; full time in official vacations. At £13 an hour, 20 hours a week earns about £1,101 a month before tax — roughly 200% of a typical Aberdeen room (£450 – £650). Part-time income helps with living costs; it shouldn't be counted on for tuition.
