A new visa scheme to attract the best graduates from the world’s top universities to the UK has been launched by the British government.

Starting today, hopeful applicants with a bachelor’s or master’s will, if successful, be given a 2-year work visa, while PhD-holders can apply for a 3-year visa. Graduates can also apply without a prior job offer and dependants can accompany them.
