UK launches post-study work visa programme for Lankans

(UTv|COLOMBO) – The United Kingdom has launched a new ‘Graduate Immigration Route’ for international students choosing the UK for their higher education.

The new scheme allows students pursuing their higher education in UK to stay and work, or to look for work, for two years following the completion of their education.

The British High Commission in Sri Lanka in a statement said it will provide greater opportunities for talented international students to remain in the UK for two years to work once they have successfully completed their studies.

The route will be available to all students who have successfully completed a course of study at undergraduate level or above at a recognized Higher Education Provider. The new scheme will be introduced from the 2020 – 2021 academic year.
