What are the chances of getting a job after graduation in the UK with my profile for a Master's/PhD?

Yes, your chances of getting a job in the UK after graduation are strong.

With a four-year mechanical engineering degree and five years of work experience, you are well-positioned for roles in high-demand sectors such as aerospace, automotive, energy, and manufacturing. UK employers value relevant work experience, and your background will give you an edge.

The Graduate Visa (post-study work visa) currently allows you to stay and work in the UK for up to two years after completing your master's - this applies to your planned September 2026 intake. This 2-year period applies to applications made before 1 January 2027; applications submitted on or after that date receive 18 months, while PhD graduates continue to receive 3 years.

To maximize your prospects:
- Highlight your experience in your CV and interviews
- Seek internships or part-time roles during your studies
- Network through university career services and industry events
