The Graduate Route is a fantastic opportunity for international students to gain professional experience in the UK job market after finishing their degrees.
Standard Eligibility
You can apply if you have successfully completed a degree at undergraduate level or above with a compliant track record. You must be in the UK when you apply and hold an active Student Visa.
Duration of Stay
Undergraduate and Master's graduates can stay for 2 years. PhD and other doctoral graduates can stay for 3 years. This period allows you to work at any skill level without the need for a separate work sponsorship initially.
Transition to Skilled Worker Visa
If you find a job with a licensed sponsor that meets the salary requirements, you can switch from the Graduate Route to a 'Skilled Worker Visa' at any time.
Our dedicated career support team at Unity Group helps you understand the professional landscape and prepare for your post-graduation career path in the UK.
