The International Graduate Scheme

Telephone: 01825 767 288

This is a new Scheme to was launched 1 May 2007 which replaced the Science and Engineering Graduates Scheme. Non-EEA students who have successfully completed and obtained a degree, Master's degree, PhD, or postgraduate certificate or diploma on or after 1 May 2007 will be permitted to work in the UK for up to 12 months after completing their course of study without the need for a Work Permit.

If, after completing 12 months under the Scheme, you then want to remain in the UK, you may be able to switch into an appropriate immigration category such as Work Permit to pursue your career, provided you meet the relevant requirements.

Please see Work Permit section for further information.

The IGS scheme closed 29th July 2008 to be replaced with Points Based System – Tier 1 Post Study Work.
