Visit us: www.universityliving.com The reintroduction of the post-study work visa for the 2020/21 university intake will help students look for work, in any career or position of their choice, for two years after completing their studies.
1) What does the UK post-study work visa mean?
The UK post-study work visa will allow you to stay in the United Kingdom after graduation in order to find work, for up to 2 years.
Previously, graduates of Bachelor’s or Master’s degrees had only four months to stay and look for a job. With this new rule, that has been improved to two years.
2) Who is eligible for this visa?
All international students starting a university degree in the UK on a Tier 4 visa are eligible.
What is a Tier 4 visa?
It’s a visa for international students who are studying a full-time, degree-level course in the UK that lasts longer than 6 months. It covers both undergraduate and postgraduate degrees.
3) When will it come into effect?
So, if you’re thinking of applying to a course in the UK starting in September or October 2020, these are the rules that would apply to you when you graduate.
4) What happens after the post-study work visa ends?
So when this period ends and the post-study visa expires, you will have to apply to transfer to a general work visa or skilled work visa, if you wish to stay longer in the UK.
For this, your job must fit the visa requirements for a Tier 2 visa, which is ‘general work visa’. That usually means you must be paid at least £30,000 per year; but for some jobs, this level can be higher or lower.
5) Does it matter which university I graduate from?
Generally, graduates from all UK universities are eligible for this visa. The condition is that the British government recognises it as a trusted institution, also called ‘licensed sponsors’.
So if you are studying or planning to study in the UK, it will be good to double-check whether your university is confirmed on this list.
6) Does it matter what subject I study for post-study work?
No, it does not matter what subject you study as it is applicable to graduates from all academic disciplines. Although it does not apply to anyone studying a short course, an English language training course, A-Levels or the Baccalaureate.
