Outside the UK

If you are planning to return home to work, or want to work in another country, you may be wondering where to start.

You can find useful sources of information on working and living abroad in specific countries on the Prospects and TARGETjobs websites.

In the UK

If you are considering the possibility of staying on in the UK to work after your studies you can find full details of all the options that could be available to you within the UK Visas and Immigration section of the GOV.UK website.

The UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA) provides information for international students on working in the UK after your studies, but please also check the UK Visas and Immigration section on GOV.UK for the latest official information.
