Is there a possibility to stay back after completing the master's program or will I move to another country like Saudi Arabia in UK?
After completing your master's program in the UK, you can apply for the Graduate Visa, which currently allows international students to stay and work in the UK for up to two years after graduation. Please note that from January 2027, this period will be reduced to 18 months for master's graduates. To be eligible, you must complete your course and hold a valid Student Visa at the time of application, submitting your application from within the UK before your visa expires. If you wish to move to Saudi Arabia after your studies, there is no post-study work visa for international graduates; you would need to secure a job offer and employer sponsorship for a work visa there. If you’d like to discuss your options further, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
