Yes, UK universities offer extensive job support for international students after you start your studies.

You can expect:
- Career counselling tailored to your goals.
- CV and interview preparation to boost your applications.
- Access to job boards and workshops for skill-building.
- Networking events with employers and industry professionals.

These services often continue for up to two years after graduation.

For work opportunities, the Graduate Visa lets you stay and work in the UK for two years after completing your degree. 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. The Skilled Worker Visa is available if you secure a job with a licensed sponsor.

Your university’s alumni network can also provide valuable connections and mentorship. Your active participation will make a big difference in your job search success.
