"Highlights"

Post-study work options (general guidance)

Work permit rules depend on the country where you study and the graduate’s nationality. The information below is general and should be verified with the relevant immigration authority and the university’s international office.

• Eligibility: In many cases, graduates may be eligible to apply for a post-study work permit if they complete an eligible qualification and meet conditions such as maintaining valid student status during study.

• Duration: Post-study work permits are typically issued for a limited period (for example, 6–24 months depending on the country and graduate profile). Some countries allow extensions or transition to longer-term work/residence pathways.

• Job requirements: Some countries require you to find employment within a certain timeframe after graduation; others allow you to search for work first. Salary/occupation rules may apply.

• Application timing: You usually must apply within a set window after graduation (often shortly before or after your final results are issued).

• Country-specific rules: Because this programme is offered by Manipal Academy of Higher Education, you should confirm the exact post-study work permit pathway for graduates in India (or your study location) on the official government immigration website.

Tip: Keep your graduation documents (degree certificate, final transcript, and completion letter) ready, as they are commonly required for work permit applications.
