Core Entitlements of the Graduate Route
The Graduate Route grants two years of unsponsored work authorization for bachelor's and master's degree holders, and three years for doctoral (PhD) graduates.
Unlike the Skilled Worker route, there is no requirement for employer sponsorship, no job offer prerequisite, and no minimum salary threshold during this initial period.
Eligibility & Application Timing
You must be currently residing inside the UK on a valid Student Visa when applying.
