Yes, international students can extend their stay in the UK after completing their degree through the Post Study Work (PSW) visa, officially known as the Graduate Route.

Here’s how it works:

1. Graduate Route (PSW Visa)

- Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree: You can stay and work (or look for work) in the UK for up to 18 months after graduation.
- PhD or Doctoral Degree: You can stay for up to 3 years after graduation.

2. Eligibility

- You must have successfully completed a degree at undergraduate level or above at a UK Higher Education Provider with a track record of compliance.
- You must apply from within the UK before your current student visa expires.

3. Work Rights

- There are no restrictions on the type of work you can do — you can be employed at any skill level, be self-employed, or even start your own business.

4. Further Stay

After the Graduate Route, if you find a suitable job, you may be able to switch to a skilled worker visa (such as the Skilled Worker Visa), which could eventually lead to settlement (permanent residency) in the UK.
