Are you wondering how to move abroad after Brexit? Luckily, as an undergraduate student, you are in the perfect position to get a visa! Here’s how:
If your undergrad is coming to an end and you’re thinking about the next chapter, then moving abroad might be easier than you think.
Doing a Masters degree in the EU will make visa matters a lot more simple. Also, tuition fees are often a lot lower than those of the UK, and obtaining a visa is pretty simple providing you have a confirmed place and all your documents in order. Many EU countries make work visa restrictions a lot less stringent for those who have completed their postgraduate studies in the country. Therefore, your employer oftentimes will not need to request work authorisation from the government before the can offer you the job. You will be able to change your visa status directly if you are accepted for a job after graduating.
The benefits of doing a Masters degree in the EU are endless. You will already be in the country where you’ll apply to the job, meaning companies are more likely to review your profile. In addition, as previously mentioned, the bureaucratic processes for the employers are a lot less, meaning that they may be more inclined to hire you.
A Masters degree may also allow you to apply for residency in the country a lot sooner than usual. If you complete 2 years of postgraduate study in France, the current law allows these students to directly apply for naturalisation after graduating.
So, if you feel like you’ve hit a wall with exploring all the options for moving abroad, don’t be disheartened. There are ways around it!
