Yes, the UK student visa can help you access international-level job opportunities after your course, mainly through the Graduate Route (post-study work visa).

- Graduate Route: Lets you stay and work in the UK for up to 18 months after completing your master's, starting from Jan 2027 (subject to change). You can work full-time in any role during this period.
- Skilled Worker visa: If you secure a job with a licensed UK employer, you can switch to this visa for longer-term work.

You must complete an eligible course and hold a valid student visa to qualify. For personalized guidance, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
