If your current BRP expires on 31 December, and you might need to remain in or return to the UK after this date, it is worth registering for an e-Visa. From 6 August, you can do so without having to wait for a direct email invitation from the UKVI (UK Visas and Immigration). Learn how to create a UKVI account to access an e-Visa here.

If you’re looking for ways to meet new people, give back to the local community, and develop new skills, volunteering could be your answer. From helping the homeless, to supporting arts and cultural events, there are a variety of summer volunteering opportunities in Coventry and Warwickshire on the Warwick volunteering pages.

You should not make a Graduate Route visa application until you have received email notification from the University confirming you can apply, as well as other application requirements. Usually, you’ll be notified a few days after your degree is formally awarded by the University, and for most PGT students this is by mid-December.

As part of the Your Futures Roadshow in July, we invited the Students' Union Advice Centre to run a session about Moving Out and Private Housing Beyond University for PGT students. If you were unable to attend, the presentation slides are now available to view.

When can I start working full-time?
As an international student, you can begin full-time work after your official course end date passes and you have completed your academic course requirements.
It may be possible to begin full-time work four weeks earlier, if your academic department can confirm to the Student Immigration team that you have submitted everything that is required.
Find out more details on our help pages.
