Yes, after completing your master's degree in the UK, you will be eligible to apply for the Graduate Visa (post-study work visa).

- If you apply on or before December 31, 2026: You can work in the UK for up to 2 years.
- If you apply from January 1, 2027 onward: The visa duration will be 18 months.

This visa allows you to work in any job at any skill level without employer sponsorship. To stay longer after this period, you would need to secure a job with a licensed sponsor and switch to a Skilled Worker Visa. Visa rules are subject to change.
