Visas: Graduates
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of allowing international students to reduce skills shortages in key sectors through the Graduate Route visa.
Answered by Seema Malhotra
The Graduate route enables international students who have successfully completed an eligible qualification to stay in the UK and work, or look for work, at any skill level for 2 years, or 3 years for doctoral students. It includes the ability to switch into other routes, such as the Skilled Worker route, if the requirements of such routes are met.
