What are the post-study work visa options and durations for a Master's in Ireland and the UK?
04 Jun 2026 · Answered by Shairal Pathak · 1 min read
In Ireland, after a master’s, you can work for up to 2 years under the Third Level Graduate Scheme. In the UK, master’s graduates can stay and work for 2 years (18 months if applying after January 2027) on the Graduate Route. Both visas allow you to work for any employer without needing sponsorship. Be sure to check for any policy updates before you apply.
