What are the post-study work and PR opportunities after completing an MBA abroad in UK?
You can stay and work in the UK after completing your MBA through the Graduate Visa (post-study work visa), which lets you remain for up to 2 years to work or job hunt. If you secure a qualifying job with a licensed employer, you can switch to a Skilled Worker Visa, which can lead to permanent residency (Indefinite Leave to Remain) after 5 years, subject to current rules.
- Graduate Visa: Up to 2 years post-study, open to any skill level.
- Skilled Worker Visa: Requires a job offer from a licensed sponsor, with specific skill and salary criteria. Can lead to permanent residency after 5 years.
- Permanent Residency: Apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain after meeting the 5-year requirement and other criteria.
Visa durations and requirements are subject to change. For personalized guidance on your pathway, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
