STUDENTS:
Currently, UAE labor law does not allow students on university sponsored visas to do any sort of paid work. These students may take up unpaid internships but must obtain permission from the university before starting the internship.

Post graduate students who secure full time work must change from the university sponsored visa to an employer sponsored visa. Employer sponsored visas are generally not available for part time work.

FRESH GRADUATES:
Salaries in Dubai range enormously depending on the particular company and the field of work. The range for fresh graduates can be anything from about AED 3,500 per month up to about AED 5,000 or AED 6000.

For people with a few years relevant experience and for managerial positions the range is anything from AED 6000 to AED 15,000 and upwards. Again it depends on the company, your experience and area of expertise.

Bear in mind that salaries do not necessarily reflect the cost of living here.
