Answer 1

once you have paid your fees and your course has started you can apply or a work permit that will allow you to work part time (20 hours a week )while you are studying and full time when school is on holidays

Answer 2

As your primary reason to visit is for studying you will need a student visa. On a student visa you are allowed to work but there is a limit to the amount of hours.
