The end of a course is when many students begin job hunting and think about the Graduate route.
Keep in mind
- Your course end date and the date your university reports completion matter.
- You must apply for the Graduate visa from inside the UK, before your Student permission ends.
- Do not let a job start date push you outside the rules.
Talk to your advice team a few months early.
