Postgraduate Student Visa

Post by VolatileSweetness » Sun Apr 03, 2011 9:09 pm

Hello. I am currently studying in Scotland for a Masters. However, there may be a chance that I am not allowed onto the dissertation portion and will only be awarded a Postgrad Diploma. What happens to my student visa if this happens? Is it automatically voided? I'm supposed to stay here until september but if I don't get to the dissertation portion, technically the course
finishes in May. Any information is greatly appreciated.

Working in the UK from a Tier 4 Student Visa

Thank you. That helps. Would you know if it's allowed for me to look for a job during those 60 days, and if I succeed, for me to try and apply for another visa? Or would that look terribly wrong? I am trying to get my Masters but I still feel I should be informed of alternatives. I really would love to live in the UK or in the EU and I feel that if I can't get the Masters then I can atleast bring my work skills into account and definitely find a job.


Thanks a lot for that link. Helps loads.

I'm also aware that they aren't taking application for highly skilled workers from outside the UK, this is why if I don't get the Masters, then I'd like to try and find a job to apply from here.
