The United Kingdom offers a wide choice of universities and subjects, including many one-year Master's programs. Eligible graduates may apply for the Graduate Route from inside the UK; the length depends on the application date and qualification. The NHS and other employers recruit internationally, but professional registration and work visa requirements apply. Shemot Education Abroad supports students with course research, applications, visa documentation, and interview preparation.
For applications made on or before 31 December 2026, the Graduate Route lasts 2 years (3 years for doctoral qualifications). For applications made on or after 1 January 2027, it lasts 18 months for other eligible qualifications and 3 years for doctoral qualifications. You must apply from inside the UK and meet the current requirements. Check GOV.UK before applying.
The IHS is a charge that most visa applicants pay to use the NHS during their stay. The amount depends on visa length and current rates. Check the GOV.UK calculator before applying.
English evidence requirements depend on the course, provider, and visa application. Some applicants may meet the requirement through other accepted qualifications or exemptions. Check current GOV.UK and university guidance before booking a test.
The UK has moved from physical Biometric Residence Permits (BRPs) to a digital eVisa system. Most new international students now receive a digital immigration status accessible through a UKVI online account rather than a physical card. You share your status with employers, landlords, or the NHS using a share code generated from your UKVI account. We guide you through account setup before and after arrival.
Postgraduate students enrolled in courses of 9 months or more may bring dependants (spouse/partner and children). However, since January 2024, this right has been restricted to government-sponsored students and those on PhD or research programs. Undergraduate students cannot bring dependants.
The Nursing and Midwifery Council sets registration and English-language requirements for applicants. Assessment steps depend on your circumstances and current NMC rules; check the official guidance before applying or booking a test.
Some Student visa holders can work within limits set by their course and visa conditions. Check your eVisa and current GOV.UK guidance for permitted hours and placement rules.
