The United Kingdom has said it will grant work visas to graduates from the world’s best universities in an expansion of its post-Brexit immigration system that is designed to attract the "best and brightest" workers

Following its exit from the European Union, Britain has ended the priority given to EU citizens and had since introduced a points-based immigration system that ranks applicants on qualifications and language skills to the type of job offered to them, Euronews reports.

 

The new scheme was announced on Monday, May 30.

 

Graduates with a bachelor’s or master’s degree from the top 50 universities abroad can apply for a two-year work visa and will be allowed to bring family members with them.

 

Those who receive doctorates can apply for a three-year visa.


Successful applicants will then be able to switch to longer-term employment visas, the government said.

Britain's finance minister, Rishi Sunak, said this would enable Britain to grow as an international hub for innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurship.

 

"We want the businesses of tomorrow to be built here today – which is why I call on students to take advantage of this incredible opportunity to forge their careers here," Sunak said. 

 

Under the new scheme, applicants must have been awarded degrees no more than five years before the date of application.

 

Eligible universities must appear in the top 50 rankings of at least two of the following: the Times Higher Education world university rankings, the Academic Ranking of World Universities and the Quacquarelli Symonds world university rankings.

 

The most recent list of eligible universities from 2021, published online by the UK government, comprises more than two dozen U.S. universities, as well as institutions in Canada, Japan, Germany, China, Singapore, France and Sweden.

 

The government said candidates must pass a security and criminality check, and be able to speak, read, listen and write English to an intermediate level.
