It depends. Securing a job in the UK after your studies is possible, but your chances vary based on your field, the current job market, and your experience.

- Graduate Route visa: Allows you to stay and work in the UK for up to 18 months after graduation. This gives you time to find a job, but does not guarantee employment. - Job market trends: As of July 2026, the UK graduate job market is experiencing slower growth. Full-time graduate employment rates have declined slightly, especially in junior tech roles, which have seen major reductions due to automation and AI. - Sector differences: Engineering and finance remain steady, while technology roles for new graduates are increasingly competitive.

Building relevant experience and developing in-demand skills during your studies can improve your chances.
