Student work conditions
Eligible students may work up to 25 hours per week when their visa conditions allow it. Check your own eVisa; this is not an automatic right for every course.
Official guidanceGraduate visa timing matters
GOV.UK lists two years for applications on or before 31 December 2026 and 18 months from 1 January 2027. Doctoral graduates have a three-year duration, subject to eligibility.
Official guidanceCheck PGWP eligibility before choosing
Post-graduation work permit eligibility involves programme, language and, where applicable, field-of-study requirements. A college admission alone does not establish PGWP eligibility.
