Whether you are a graduate or a postgraduate, the skills and knowledge you’ll have learnt during your time studying in the UK will last a lifetime and boost your employability.

Working after your studies
As you near the end of your university studies, you may want to find out whether you can stay on to work in the UK. The UK Border Agency’s rules on whether you can stay in the UK to work after your studies change from time to time, so always check the latest UK Border Agency guidance.
Your university or college will have specialist careers advisers and it's a good idea to discuss your options with them. Another helpful website is UKCISA, which has lots of useful advice and is particularly good at explaining the implications of visa regulations.
If you are a national of a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland, you may be eligible to apply for one of several different types of visa that allow you to work in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland after you complete your studies. There's more about this on Education UK's visa pages. For full details check the UKBA pages on Working in the UK.
