The UK yesterday opened its new “high-potential” visa route for graduates of the top-ranked universities worldwide, but it has attracted criticism for not including any African, Latin American or Caribbean institutions.
Graduates from eligible universities who have been awarded a bachelor’s or master’s degree in the last five years can apply for the two-year work visa without a prior job offer, while PhD holders can apply for a three-year visa.
The list for degrees awarded between November 2021 and October 2022 includes institutions from the USA, Hong Kong, Switzerland, Sweden, Japan, Canada, Singapore, France, China, Australia and Germany.
