UK to allow foreign students to stay for two years after graduation to find work


There will not be a cap on the number of students who can apply for the graduate route, it said. There are about 450,000 international students a year studying in Britain.

LONDON: International students will be able to stay in Britain looking for work for up to two years after they graduate under new rules announced by the government on Wednesday.

Under current rules, introduced by former prime minister Theresa May when she was interior minister, students are only allowed to stay for four months after they finish their degree.
