International students are typically allowed to work part-time while studying at BUCM, but there are restrictions. Students can work up to 20 hours per week during the academic term and full-time during holidays, subject to approval by the university and the local immigration authorities. The work must not interfere with academic responsibilities, and students must obtain a work permit or a special endorsement on their student visa to engage in employment.

BUCM offers career support services, including job fairs, internships, and workshops that help students prepare for employment. The university has strong connections with hospitals, healthcare institutions, and research centers, providing graduates with access to job opportunities in the TCM and healthcare sectors. Additionally, the international office provides assistance with visa applications, documentation, and career counseling to help students transition smoothly from study to work life in China.
