Yes, you can plan for a job or hospital placement in the UK after completing your master's degree.

The UK offers a Graduate Visa (post-study work visa), which allows international graduates to stay and work for up to 2 years after finishing their degree (3 years for PhD graduates). This 2-year period applies to applications made before 1 January 2027; applications submitted on or after that date receive 18 months, while PhD graduates continue to receive 3 years. For healthcare roles, you may also be eligible for the Health and Care Worker Visa, provided you secure a job offer from a licensed employer.

To improve your chances, use your university's career services, seek internships or placements during your studies, and actively network within your field.
