SUMMARY and responsibilities
The GR is a flexible and inclusive post study work (PSW) visa that provides the opportunity for eligible Swansea University sponsored students to stay in the UK and work, or look for work, at any skill level for 2 years (3 years for doctoral students) after they have been awarded their degree. Work can be in any sector and at any level without any minimum salary requirements or the need for visa sponsorship. Study is also permitted under this route, excluding study that should be sponsored under the Student route visa.
The Student Compliance Services team (SCS) is responsible for reporting all GR eligible students to the Home Office to enable eligible students to make valid applications. However, it is a student’s responsibility to manage their eligibility at all stages of their journey with Swansea University. Completing your course on time will allow smooth access to the GR visa, any changes to your study could affect your eligibility. This page has been created to clearly convey the eligiblity requirements of the GR visa thus supporting students to protect future immigration aspirations in relation to the UK Graduate route visa.
