The UK Graduate Route continues to be a major attraction for Indian students in 2026. It allows graduates to stay in the UK for two years (three for PhD holders) to work or look for work after completing their degree.
Who is eligible?
Any international student who has successfully completed an eligible course at a UK higher education provider with a track record of compliance can apply. You must be in the UK when you apply and have a valid Student visa.
Key benefits
- Work in almost any job, at any skill level
- No employer sponsorship required during the visa
- Switch to the Skilled Worker visa once you find a sponsoring employer
- Build UK work experience that strengthens future applications
