What are the New Rules?
The government has announced new rules, preventing international students on a student visa from bringing dependants, such as family members with them. There is an exception for post-graduate students who are studying for a PhD, or doing a research-based degree, who are still allowed to bring dependants with them as before.
A dependant is a spouse, an unmarried partner or a child under the age of 18.
Those with skilled worker visas will still be able to bring dependants as they were before the changes.
These changes start from January 2024.
How Graduate Coach Can Help International Students
Getting a job as an international student can be extremely difficult. Universities don’t teach their students how to appeal to potential employers and the job market is overcrowded with new graduates clamouring to find a graduate job. 48% of graduates never get a graduate job.

We have helped numerous international students find jobs in the UK, and continue to support them after they have found employment.
