What is the post-study worker category?
The post-study worker category allows us to retain the most able international graduates who have studied in the United Kingdom. It also enhances the United Kingdom's overall offer to international students.

Post-study workers are free to look for work without having a sponsor for the length of their leave.

The category provides a bridge to highly skilled or skilled work. If you are granted permission to stay as a post-study worker, we expect that you will switch into another tier of the points-based system as soon as you are able to.

Who can apply as a post-study worker?
You can apply under the post-study worker category now if you are:

in the United Kingdom with permission to stay under the Science and Engineering Graduates Scheme (SEGS), International Graduates Scheme (IGS) or Fresh Talent: Working in Scotland Scheme (FT:WISS); or
in the United Kingdom as a student, which includes students, student nurses, students resitting examiniations,and students writing up a thesis, and want to switch into the post-study worker category.
