The British government has eased the conditions for international students studying in the country to stay after their studies in the country. The Graduate route visa allows international students to stay after graduation without a job offer.
International students enjoy a two-year post-graduation stay in the UK
It got introduced for international students who have studied in a recognized UK university to stay in the country for two years and look for a job.
The visa permits the students to stay legally and look for a professional job and do regular work to pay their cost of living.
When the student finishes his/her education, he/she can stay in the UK and look for a job in the expert field.
The program is available for BA and MA students, and the area of study does not matter.
Having a job offer from an employer is essential for staying in the country after finishing studies, but international students do not need a job offer to stay in the UK.
Students will not have any restrictions for minimum salary and the type of work they will be doing during these two years.
It’s an opportunity to build a good resume and create networks of people to find a job.
The program allows you to change your job and be unemployed for a few months and does not require you to be continuously employed. The Graduate Route also enables Ph.D. students to stay in the Uk for three years.
The UK government aims to attract 600.000 international students working in the country by 2030, and the program paves the way to do so. The government plans to welcome international students from all over the world and create good working and living opportunities for them to stay and build a strong economy and workforce.
Last year, 56,000 Indian students received a UK student visa. That is a 13% increase compared with the previous year and is a quarter of the total issued student visas.
