Overview
The replacement of Science and Engineering Graduates Scheme now known as International Graduate Scheme ( IGS) will be launched on 1 May 2007. It will allow non - EEAgraduates who completed and acquired a degree, Master's degree, PhD or postgraduate diploma or certificate on or after 1st May 2007 to work in the UK for up to one year. They will have an opportunity to continue to do so on completion of the period providing they can satisfy relevant requirements of appropriate immigration category.
The International Graduates Scheme (IGS) will be launched with the aim of encouraging graduates of UK further or higher education establishments to pursue a career in the United Kingdom. Those who complete their courses on or after 1 May 2007 can apply regardless of the subject they have studied. Those who finished their courses before 1 May 2007 may still apply under the old Science and Engineering Graduate Scheme rules.
IGS is a transitional route which enables students who have studied in the UK to access the labour market and gain work experience in the UK.
During their leave under IGS participants can take any type of employment or self-employment. If theywant to remain here beyond their leave under IGS in order to pursue their career, they can switch into various employment or self-employment categories, if they meet the relevant requirements.
To be granted leave under the scheme, applicants must :
1. have successfully completed a relevant course at a recognised or listed UK institution of Higher or Further Education on or after 1 May 2007. A relevant course is:
a Bachelor's degree course; OR
a Master's or PhD course; OR
a postgraduate certificate or diploma. And must:
2. have completed their course in the last 12 months
3. intend to work during the period of leave granted under the scheme
4. be able to maintain and accommodate themselves and any dependants without recourse to public funds;
5. intend to leave the UK at the end of their stay (unless granted leave as a work permit holder, highly skilled migrant, business person, innovator or student).
Applicants can apply for IGS before their degree certificate is issued. If they do not have a degree certificate, they can provide a letter from their institution confirming that they have completed the course at the required level.
Applicants who have been sponsored by a government or international scholarship agency will need to obtain written permission from their sponsor before applying for IGS.
Applicants may switch into the scheme whilst in the UK if they have valid leave as a student. This includes leave as a student, a student nurse, to re-sit an examination, or to write up a thesis.
Alternatively you can apply to return to the UK from abroad under the scheme no later than one year after you complete your course (as shown by the date your relevant leave as a student expires). Entry clearance is mandatory for those returning to the UK under the scheme.
