Post-study work options

There are many immigration routes available for students after they have completed their studies in the UK. We will focus on a select few during this training course to help develop your ability to effectively advise your students and graduates. 

This course will help you to: 

• Identify routes that a Student visa holder can apply to upon completion of their studies. 
• Explore how students can meet the requirements of these routes, and when certain routes will be available to them. 
• Compare and contrast the work routes available for students. 
• Recall where relevant information and guidance for the routes can be found. 
• Recognise the OISC requirements for providing advice on these routes. 

This training is a stand-alone course and will include presentations, the opportunity for you to ask questions and share your experience. 

Our training is grounded in the principles of the #WeAreInternational Student Charter, a student-led document that provides guidance on delivering a world-class international student experience, from pre-arrival to post-graduation.    

This course will provide you with the tools, skills and knowledge to support the implementation of: 

• Principle 4 of the Charter: Monitor and evaluate existing available support and provision for international students on an ongoing basis 
• Principle 5 of the Charter: Make available targeted support for international students in every area of the student experience (Visas and immigration, Making a home in the UK, Academic experience, Physical and mental wellbeing, Careers and employability). 

Who should attend? 

This course is for professionals who have a good understanding of the Student route, who currently advise students, and would like to develop the ability to effectively advise them on post-study work options. 

Suitable for: international student advisers; student advisers; compliance staff; careers staff 

Minimum experience level: foundational knowledge of the Student route (no prior UKCISA training expected)
