Yes, the UK offers work visa options even if you have minimal study abroad experience.

- Graduate Visa (post-study work visa/PSW): Lets you stay and work in the UK for up to 2 years after completing a master's degree (3 years after a PhD). No job offer required.
- Skilled Worker Visa: Requires a job offer from a UK Home Office-approved employer in an eligible occupation, meeting the salary threshold. Allows you to stay up to 5 years, with possible extension and a path to permanent residency.

Relevant work experience or internships can improve your job prospects but are not mandatory for these visa routes. If you need guidance on the next steps, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
