If I complete my masters abroad, when can I start working there and how will my experience be considered in UK for a Master's?

You can start working abroad after your master's degree once you receive the relevant post-study work visa. For example, in the UK, you can apply for the Graduate Visa before your student visa expires and begin working full-time as soon as the new visa is granted.

Work experience gained on this post-study visa is considered valid local experience by employers and is valuable for your career growth and future visa applications, such as the Skilled Worker Visa.
