Before this announcement came, Bachelor’s or Master's degree holders could stay for only four months in the UK to look for a job, but now it’s 24 months. This is part of the UK administration’s plan to grow in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) sector. 14 © AH&Z Associates Ltd. 2020
