Highlights"
Post-study work rights depend on the country where you graduate and the visa/work-permit rules in place at the time of graduation. The information below is general guidance and should be confirmed with the relevant immigration authority and your university’s international office.
- Eligibility: In many cases, graduates may be eligible to apply for a post-study work permit if they completed a qualifying programme and meet visa/immigration requirements (such as maintaining valid student status during study).
- Duration: Post-study work permits are typically granted for a limited period (often ranging from several months to a few years depending on the country and graduate profile). The exact duration must be verified for your intake and qualification.
- Conditions: You may need to apply within a specified window after graduation, provide proof of programme completion, and meet any additional requirements (e.g., financial capacity, health checks, or documentation).
- Country-specific rules: If you studied in India, work authorization is governed by Indian immigration and employment visa regulations. You generally cannot start work until you have the correct work authorization/visa approved.
Next step: Check the latest guidance on post-study work permits for your destination country and confirm your eligibility with MAHE’s international support team.
