Hi I am doing a full time PhD course in Computer Science and In UPM university.I applied for a developer position and after passing the programming test in that company I was offered that job.
As the PhD is only a research course and there is no class to attend in university,I need to know whether I can work there part time or not?
Thank you so much.

I know many foreign PhD students who work here on research projects and [spam word detected]. I'm not an immigration expert, but I think the work is considered part of the education, as long as its relevant to your studies.

Check with your university international affairs dept just to make sure.
