Eligibility: You must have completed your programme successfully and hold the appropriate immigration permission at the time of application.
Duration: The length of post-study work permission depends on the level and type of your qualification and the rules in force at the time you apply.
Application timing: Applications are typically made after graduation and within specified time limits—check the current requirements before you apply.
Work restrictions: You must follow the conditions attached to your permission (for example, working only after you have the correct permission and complying with reporting requirements, if applicable).
