Petition Extend new Graduate Route to 2020 and pre-July 2021 graduates

Little is done to ensure wellbeing of international students during study, and even less so for after graduation.

Pause or Pay UK requests the UK Government extend the new Graduate Immigration Route to AY 2019/20 graduates, including those who graduate pre-summer 2021, as a humanitarian gesture.

More details

International students continue to face extreme academic disruption and financial hardship throughout the pandemic, with little done to ensure their wellbeing after graduation. Graduates face extremely unstable career prospects, with job offers lost, in addition to the impacts to their mental, financial and emotional wellbeing. An extension, including retrospectively, would be welcome to ameliorate the situation so as to give international graduates more choices during this global health crisis.
