Yes, students pursuing their studies at an Oxford based institution can work alongside their studies, however there is a limit on working hours allowed per week.

International students are allowed to work 20 hours a week (4 hours a day, on average), but must not exceed that number in any given week even if they work lesser hours during a different week, to avoid getting into trouble with the relevant authorities which can lead to financial penalties or in some cases, revocation of the student visa.
