If you’re about to start studying or even thinking about studying in the UK, we’ve got great news for you!

Starting 2020, international students will be able to stay in the UK for up to two years after they graduate while looking for a job.

According to The Star, the new ruling was announced by the British government on Wednesday.

Currently, international students are only allowed to stay in the country for four months after finishing their degrees.

The current government noted that this new graduate route would enable students to work, or look for work, at any skill level. The graduated will then be able to switch to a skilled work visa if they find a suitable job that meets all the requirements.

“The important contribution international students make to our country and universities is both cultural and economic,” said Education Secretary, Gavin Williamson, in a statement. “Their presence benefits Britain.”

“Our universities thrive on being open global institutions,” he added. “Introducing the graduate route ensures our prestigious higher education sector will continue to attract the best talent from around the world to global Britain.”

What’s more? The UK government has also assured that there will be no cap on the number of students allowed to apply for the graduate route. According to the statement, about 450,000 international students study in Britain per year.

The new graduate route will apply to the international students who start an undergraduate level or above course from 2020 onwards in any subject at “a trusted UK university or higher education provider which has a proven track record in upholding immigration checks”.

This new rule is one that we’re certainly happy to be hearing about! Share this with someone who will benefit from the new rule!
