Student and Graduate Visa
Additional information
Hello!! Right now I have a Student Visa which expires on Jan 2024 and I have completed my Master's Degree. On October 2023, I will be eligible for the Graduate which gives me the permission to live and work in UK for 2 years without the need of sponsorship. However, as GOV says, I will get a decision on my VISA within 4-8 weeks. Until that time, Graduate Programs may be closed. Therefore, I would like to ask whether I am eligible now to apply at EY's Graduate Programs. Thank you!!

Hi there, thanks for your interest. We welcome applications from non-UK nationals but there are some restrictions you’ll need to know about when you apply. First of all, you need to make sure you meet the visa eligibility criteria for people looking to work in the UK, before you start on a programme. You can find out more about working visas from the UK Home Office - Visas and Immigration website.
The standard government processing time for a Skilled Worker visa is 8-10 weeks so we would encourage you to make your application leaving enough time for us to meet with you during the recruitment process, and if you're successful, for us to apply for your visa.
If you require visa sponsorship, most of our graduate programmes can support all the conditions set out by the Home Office Codes of Practice. They are:
- Any graduate programme in Assurance, Strategy and Transactions, Consulting, Law, Technology and Tax (other than Northern Ireland)
If you’re unsure about your eligibility to work in the UK, please visit the UK Home Office - Visas and Immigration website: www.gov.uk/government/organisations/uk-visas-and-immigration
Our graduate programmes are open for applications for our 2024 intake but you'll need to check the specific programme you're interested in case it closes: ey.com/uk/graduates
