What is the Graduate Route and how do I apply for this?


Answer

The Graduate Route was launched in 2021 and allows any Student visa holder / Tier 4 student who has successfully completed the course of study stipulated on their CAS to apply to remain in the UK for 2 years (3 years if studying a PhD) to gain graduate work experience. To successfully apply for this visa the student will need to apply from within the UK before their current Student / Tier 4 visa expires. 

Other qualifying criteria does apply and this is detailed at: https://homeofficemedia.blog.gov.uk/2019/10/14/fact-sheet-graduate-immigration-route/

The Home Office Compliance Team will email students once they have successfully completed their course and we have notified the Home Office so that they can make their Graduate Route visa application. This is usually within 2 weeks of an award being notified to a student.
