Yes. The Graduate route lets eligible graduates stay to work, for 2 years (18 months for some later applications) or 3 years for doctoral graduates.
After successfully completing an eligible course, you can apply to switch to the Graduate route, which lets you work or look for work without needing a sponsor. The standard period is 2 years for bachelor's and master's graduates.
For applications made from 1 January 2027, the standard period is expected to be 18 months, while PhD and doctoral graduates can stay for 3 years. The Graduate route does not lead directly to settlement, so most people move on to a Skilled Worker or other long-term visa before it ends.
