Thinking about staying in the UK after graduation? In this video, Nancy, at Latitude Law, explains the key benefits of the UK Graduate visa and answers some of the most commonly asked questions from international students.
We look at why the Graduate visa is popular with UK employers, how it gives you 2–3 years to gain UK work experience, and how it can help you move onto other routes such as the Skilled Worker visa in future.

In this video, Nancy covers:
- Why many UK employers like the Graduate visa route
- How graduates can use 2–3 years to test the UK job market
- How employers without a sponsor licence may later sponsor you as a Skilled Worker
- Whether you can apply before you receive your final results
