Sinh viên tốt nghiệp NUS có thể xin visa tìm việc làm ở Anh

SINGAPORE, May 29 (The Straits Times/ANN): Recent National University of Singapore (NUS) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) graduates will be able to head to Britain to look for jobs under a new visa designed to give British businesses access to graduates from the world's top universities.

According to the British High Commission in Singapore, the United Kingdom's High Potential Individual (HPI) visa, which will be open to applicants from Monday (May 30), was introduced as part of a broader post-Brexit government strategy to make the country more globally competitive.

The scheme offers visas to people who completed a degree from top universities outside the UK within the last five years.

NUS and NTU appear on the British Home Office's Top Global Universities list, which also includes Harvard, Stanford, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the US, Canada's University of Toronto, Peking University and Tsinghua University in China, and the University of Tokyo in Japan.

International students in British universities are not included in the scheme, as they come under the UK graduate visa scheme, which allows those who have completed a degree within the UK to stay for at least two years after graduating.

To be included in the HPI visa list, the universities must have been placed in the Top 50 positions in at least two of the following world rankings: Times Higher Education World University Rankings, Quacquarelli Symonds World University Rankings and The Academic Ranking of World Universities by Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
