Is the Graduate Route still available if I study in the UK in Jan 2026?


As of now, the UK Graduate Route (Post-Study Work Visa) is still available to eligible international students who complete a degree at a UK higher education provider with a track record of compliance.

Key Points for January 2026 Intake:
- There have been no official announcements from the UK government or UKVI stating that the Graduate Route will be discontinued for students starting in January 2026.
- Students enrolling in January 2026, who successfully complete their degree, are expected to be eligible to apply for the Graduate Route, provided they meet all current requirements at the time of application.
- The Graduate Route allows you to stay and work, or look for work, in the UK for up to 2 years (3 years for PhD graduates) after completing your course.

Important Considerations:
- UK immigration policies can change. It is always best to stay updated via official sources or consult with trusted education consultants like Pollster Education.
- If you are planning for January 2026, we recommend confirming your eligibility during your application process and closer to your graduation date.
