The graduate visa gives European and international students the opportunity to stay longer and gain work experience in the UK after graduation. There is no minimum salary or restrictions on the type of employment. The graduate visa allows graduates to start an internship, work as an employee or be self-employed.

With the skilled work route, graduates that find a suitable work placement can choose to stay in the UK even after the end of the graduate visa. Discover all types of working visas from the UK government to work in the UK after your studies.
