Will I get a job in my field after completing my degree abroad or will I have to start with low-level jobs like supermarket work in UK for a Master's?

Yes, completing a master's degree in taxation from a UK university greatly improves your chances of securing a job in your field, rather than starting with unrelated entry-level roles.

The UK's Graduate Route visa (post-study work visa) allows you to stay and work in the UK for up to two years after graduation, giving you time to pursue positions relevant to your qualifications. 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. Many international graduates find employment or further study within 15 months of graduating.

Typical roles for taxation graduates include tax associate, tax analyst, tax consultant, senior tax accountant, and tax manager. To boost your chances, make use of university career services, build your professional network, and seek internships during your studies.

Will you actually get a job after your UK master's?
