Graduate Visa / Post Study Worker (PSW)

The post-study worker category is designed to allow international graduates who have studied in the United Kingdom the opportunity to gather work experience in the UK following their studies.

This category provides a stepping stone for international graduates to get into highly skilled or skilled work within the UK.

Post-study workers are free to look for work without having a sponsor for the length of their leave.

You do not need a job offer to apply under the post study worker category. When you apply, you are awarded points based on your qualifications, previous earnings, United Kingdom experience, age, English language skills and available maintenance (money).

Eligibility
At The UK Visa Agency we can make an application for you under the Post Study Work category now if you are one of the following:

your education provider (such as your university or college) has told the Home Office you’ve successfully completed your course

Points Based System
To qualify for a visa under the post study work category you must pass a points based assessment.

You will be assessed under a variety of categories and would need to obtain a minimum if 95 points under the points based assessment.

You must score a total of at least 75 points for a United Kingdom qualification, studying at a United Kingdom institution, your immigration status during United Kingdom study and/or research and the date of award of qualification, which are known as attributes.

If you do not score a minimum of 75 points for your attributes and 10 points for English language and 10 points for available maintenance (funds), your application will be refused.
