Graduate Route visa for international students in the UK

The Graduate Route allows international graduates to stay in the UK for two years after completing a bachelor’s or master’s degree and three years after completing a PhD. No job sponsorship is required to stay and work under this route, and graduates have the chance to switch to a Skilled Worker Visa if they receive a job offer from an approved UK employer.

Graduates on the Skilled Worker Visa may be eligible to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) after five years. ILR also allows graduates to apply for British citizenship.

I could not have done it without the help of Anna Holt. Throughout the application process, Anna was incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had, she made the process extremely easy and stress-free. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I’m so grateful for her dedication and expertise. I highly recommend her to anyone navigating the university admissions process! Thanks to Anna, I have been accepted to a master’s programme at Leeds Beckett.

About a year and a half before I went abroad, I received individual consulting, where I was given the overall schedule. After that, I attended seminars on how to write a statement of purpose, resume, and letter of recommendation, and created the documents, then used a correction service to finalize my documents. With the help of the consultant, I applied to universities, and received acceptance letters from all five schools I applied to.
