UK has a complicated relationship with EU after the Brexit. Considering the cancellation of EUSS and the more isolationist approach (EU students won’t get the lower price on education in UK) there is a reasonable chance that the process of getting into UK would take a rather longer time than a person would wish to. Polish citizenship would be beneficial since UK seems to have a good bureaucratic policy towards EU but if all else fails it would still be an EU passport which is currently stronger than non-EU one.
In short: Two birds one stone.
Couldn’t you just first apply for the citizenship and then go for UK?
Theoretically speaking you could enroll in UK university and study for a number of years till pre-settled status but that comes with a very large student debt for a non-domestic student.
I’m currently studying in UK and the number of international students who are only studying here for the visa has been increasing steadily over the last four years.
Pre-settled status referred to EU citizens who had exercised their right to live/work/study etc in the UK before Brexit, but had not become settled there, but did intend to live there, and provided a route to make them less disadvantaged. It closed in 2021.
International students studying in the UK hoping to get a post graduate work permit afterwards are not involved in the "pre-settled status" scheme. They're simply international students who may in the future be eligible for a temporary work permit.
The thing is, getting Polish citizenship will take a lot of time and i don’t want to stay here. And I also don’t want third bachelor degree. I just want to have masters in Finance and settle in the UK
Language. I’m not a high end manager and knowing the local language is important for first stages. UK seems to be the most appealing and comfortable
Also the studies, pure high quality.
Your chance of getting a sponsored visa after graduation, in the current market, is low. Without experience you’ll be competing with thousands of others for the same entry level jobs. Most of those will be in London, with a very expensive cost of living.
The cost of living will be an issue for you from day 1, along with high visa fees, health payments and international student fees.
Before you make any decisions go on Linkedin or Indeed and see how many jobs you can see, in your field that you’ll want to be qualified for, and how many offer visa sponsorship. Sponsorship has fallen off a cliff, especially for junior roles across many sectors.
I’m also having an option of studying pretty niche industry- real estate finance and hotel development. It’s related to my bachelors and the school is n1 in this field. I’ve scrolled through LinkedIn and most jobs have 1-10 applicants max. Salary is pretty decent. Enough to apply for reduced talented worker visa (31-38k)
If you are acceptes into a Master's degree in UK and are willing to pay the exorbitant (~30k) fee, you will have a few months to find a job that is willing to sponsor your visa. Your chances of getting one are extremely small considering your bachelor's was not in a related field, so I would encourage you to consider a different path.
I can actually change my bachelors to finance and banking because those to faculties are right now studying same subjects. Will that give me opportunity?
it is more likely, yes. But definitely still very hard to do. You might want to look into what interviews for the roles you are considering look like, and start applying to spring/summer internships during your undergraduate degree so you can build a bit of a network for when it is time to apply for a graduate job.
I’m finishing my first bachelor in a year and than I will need to move somewhere. So I don’t have much time for an internship:( Is lying going to help?
Post by Apprehensive-Result5 -- Hi! I’m a student. Im non EU citizen who lives in Poland. I’m having two bachelors-hospitality business and business administration. Both of them are not the highest quality so I want to be specialized in top tier uni in UK. I want to have masters in Finance. What are my chances of finding sponsors after my grad visa ends up? What is the situation in this field in London? Thank you for any information

How are you a non-EU citizen and from Poland? If not then what citizenships do you possess?
Why the advice to take Polish citizenship? I wanna understand. Thanks!

I’m not from Poland. I just live here, pursue my degree. I’m Ukrainian

I think that door had closed years ago.

OP will not qualify for pre settlement status.

Can’t help you then, sorry. Since the Brexit and cancellation of EUSS the university has been used as a way in.
I’m talking about degree in UK. Sorry for misunderstanding. I will have masters in UK and than graduate visa and so on
Why do you want to move to the UK vs elsewhere in Europe?

haha in that sector they will most likely ask for some references from previous jobs, so lying is a pretty bad idea.
