Is there a license exam (like LAX or LETX) required after master's in the UK to settle or work?

In the UK, certain professions require additional licensing or examinations beyond a master’s degree to work legally. For example, medicine, law, and engineering each have their own regulatory bodies and qualification processes, such as the PLAB test for doctors or the Solicitors Qualifying Examination for lawyers. Since requirements differ by profession, it’s important to check with the relevant regulatory body for your specific field to understand what steps are needed to practice in the UK. If you need guidance on identifying the correct process for your chosen career, your LeapScholar counsellor can assist further.
