Even though you are a student, there will be tax obligations (even if, ultimately, you don't pay tax). The direct.gov.uk| website has a lot of information about paying tax, tax allowances and managing your money.
Non-EU students are usually entitled to work up to 20 hours per week (term-time) and full-time in vacation however this is subject to your visa. The Careers Service runs information workshops about this and other events for non-EU students|.

In the UK you should not need to pay for an internship but in other countries it can be common practice. There are many organised international internship or work experience schemes so shop around. In the UK unpaid| internships usually don't comply with the National Minimum Wage but are still seen as the main route into certain sectors.
