If I complete my one-year master's degree, how much time will I get to find a job and apply for a work visa after that in UK/UAE?

If you complete a one-year master's degree:
- UK: You will get 18 months to stay and work after graduation on the Graduate Visa if you finish your degree in or after January 2027. This time is for finding a job and applying for a longer-term work visa.
- UAE: There is no automatic post-study work visa. You can apply for a Job Seeker Visa, which allows you to stay for 60 to 120 days (2 - 4 months) to search for a job. To work, you must secure employment and get an employer-sponsored work visa.
Visa durations and policies are subject to change.
