Yes, after completing your studies in the UK or USA, you can work there through post-study work visas (PSW).

- UK: The Graduate Route Visa lets you stay and work for 2 years after a master's, or 3 years after a doctorate. No job offer is required.
- USA: Optional Practical Training (OPT) allows up to 12 months of work after graduation in your field. STEM graduates may extend this by 24 months. Moving to a long-term visa like H-1B requires employer sponsorship and is subject to annual limits.

With a Business Management background, typical roles include business analyst, project manager, management consultant, supply chain manager, financial analyst, and marketing manager.

Visa rules and job markets are subject to change. For next steps, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor for guidance tailored to your goals.
