The Health and Care Professions Council regulates 15 health professions in the United Kingdom. If you trained outside the UK, you must apply through the international registration route before you can practice legally or use your professional title in any regulated healthcare role.

Start job searchQualified Teacher Status is required to teach in state-maintained schools in England. Which route applies to you depends entirely on your existing qualifications and experience. We assess your background and tell you which route fits before you spend time or money on the wrong one.

Review my failed applicationThe Graduate Route allows international students who complete a degree at a United Kingdom university to stay and work in the United Kingdom for 2 years (3 years for doctoral graduates) without needing an employer to sponsor them. No employer needed, no minimum salary, work in any sector.
Proposed change from January 2027: The United Kingdom Government has proposed reducing the Graduate Route from 2 years to 18 months for bachelor's and master's graduates. Doctoral graduates would retain 3 years. If you complete before the end of 2026, the current 2-year rule applies.
If you secure a job offer paying at least £26,200 from a licensed sponsor, you can switch to a Skilled Worker visa. This pathway leads to Indefinite Leave to Remain after 5 years and eventually British citizenship.
You can apply for a new Student visa if you wish to pursue a doctoral degree after a master's or take a professional qualification.
If you have exceptional ability or a genuine business idea, these alternative visa routes may apply without the salary threshold requirement of the Skilled Worker route.
Start your job search before graduation. We help you build a pipeline of sponsored employers during your final year.
Book career sessionWe manage master's programme applications to United Kingdom universities with scholarship applications built in from day one. We do not apply for scholarships after you receive an offer, we apply alongside the admission and use the offer to negotiate a better award.
