What has changed
The UK Budget says graduates of “high-compliance” universities with strong job outcomes will keep a two-year Graduate visa. Other bachelor’s and master’s graduates still move to 18 months from 1 January 2027. The list of universities and the start date have not been published yet.
What this means for you
Once the list is published, the university you choose may affect how long you can stay in the UK after graduating. Until then, plan on 18 months for Graduate visa applications from 1 January 2027.
