What is the post-study work visa duration after completing a one-year course in the UK?
04 Jun 2026 · Answered by Shairal Pathak · 1 min read
If you finish your one-year master’s course in the UK and apply for the Graduate Visa before 31 December 2026, you’ll get 2 years to work or look for work. If you apply after this date, the visa will be for 18 months. The visa can’t be extended, so plan ahead if you want a longer stay.
