Study in UK
UK - Country Overview
Being centrally located between North America and Europe, the UK is regarded as one of the best study abroad destinations. Not only does the UK have top universities from the world, but it also offers those courses in a shorter duration of time. This means that students can graduate quickly, and blend into the workforce. Since a lot of Bollywood and Hollywood movies are shot in London, it has become a preferred study destination for a lot of students.
Apart from this, the UK also allows international students to work part-time with their studies, and full-time during vacations/breaks, which allows students to earn extra income. Moreover, the multicultural environment, vibrant city life and other international students, makes the UK a perfect study destination. With the UK now liberalizing work permits after studies, it has also become easier for students to stay back and work in the UK, after their studies.

Work permit in the UK after studies
After successfully completing your bachelors/masters degree from a UK university, students are eligible for a 2 year Post Study Work (PSW) visa. The duration of the PSW visa for PhD students is 3 years. Transitioning to a PSW allows international students to be able to work in most jobs, look for work, be self-employed, do voluntary work or even travel abroad and return to the UK. There is no need for a job offer or a salary cap to apply for a PSW, also students can look for work in any field.
If you want to stay longer in the UK after your PSW, you need to switch to a different visa like a Skilled Worker Visa.
Pathway to staying in the UK
After completion of PSW, international students can apply for a Skilled Worker Visa (previously Tier 2 visa). To be eligible for this visa, you should be working with a Home Office approved employer, get a certificate of sponsorship, be working under a list of eligible occupations and also fulfill the minimum salary requirements. The exact eligibility depends on the type of job that you’re doing. The validity of the visa is 5 years, post which it can be extended.
