Good news for higher education students coming to study in the UK from around the world. The UK education sector is elated that post-study work rights
are set to be offered to international students for two years post-graduation, with enrollments from the 2020/21 academic year set to benefit from this new immigration rule.
are set to be offered to international students for two years post-graduation, with enrollments from the 2020/21 academic year set to benefit from this new immigration rule.
Students from Africa, Asia and South America can now remain in the UK up to two years after graduating. During this time they can secure a job and apply for work permit. Afterwards they can apply for pre-settlement status and then leave to remain and eventually become a British citizen if they wish.
Why this new legislation?
The new UK government defines its approach to post-Brexit immigration as wanting to attract the “best and brightest” with a focus on so-called skilled migration that is, migrants with professional qualifications, ready-made job offers and study placements and not the so-called low-skilled workers, asylum seekers and refugees.
