UK opens new post-study work visa route for Indian students #IndiaNEWS #Social Trends
NEW DELHI : The United Kingdom Home Office on Thursday officially opened its new post-study work visa for international students, which would offer overseas graduates from India and other destinations the option to apply for the right to stay on for job experience at the end of their university courses.
The Graduate route visa which was announced last year by UK Home Secretary Priti Patel, is now open for applications from this week and is expected to particularly benefit Indian students, who are known to choose their degree courses based on the prospect of work experience.
The Graduate route is designed for international graduates who have been awarded their degree from a recognised UK university to stay on and look for work for at least two years.
Under the UK Governments points-based immigration system, talented students from India and across the globe now have the opportunity to kick start their careers in the UK at the highest levels of business, science, technology and the arts, Home Secretary Priti Patel said in a statement.
Once theyve received their world-leading qualification from one of our fantastic education institutions, this new visa will give them the freedom to fulfil their aspirations and advance their careers, she added.
Jan Thompson, Acting British High Commissioner to India said: The numbers show that UK universities are already a popular destination for Indian students, who contribute immensely to the unique living bridge that exists between the UK and India.
The Graduate route will further help students who wish to stay and work in the UK, strengthening this bond between our two countries even more. Cooperation in higher education is one of the crucial commitments in the UK and Indias 2030 Roadmap, and this is another positive step in that direction, she said further.
While Barbara Wickham, Director India, British Council said: It is really heartening to see the response from Indian students who have placed their trust in a UK education to shape their careers. The UK is equally committed to enabling Indian students to realise their dreams through the benefits of the Graduate Route. Its testament to both countries continued focus on realising their mutual knowledge ambitions in a fast evolving world.
The British Council is engaging with Indian students who plan to pursue a UK education this autumn by organising webinars and Facebook lives to provide all the information prospective students need.
The British High Commissions release further stated that the launch of the new Graduate route shows the UK Governments commitment to attracting talented individuals from India and across the globe to bring their talent to the UK and develop their skills further.
