| Comment | Staying will be very, VERY tough. If you don't have a very specific set of skills, find an employer who loves you so much they want to pay for a visa to keep you, or have enough money in the bank to be an entrepreneur after graduating, you probably won't be able to stay after your studies. But as mentioned by others, in your field they may need people.
I came in 2014 and loved it so much I desperately tried to stay. But I just kept hitting road block after road block. My advice would be to do your research thoroughly. Know all the possible avenues to staying inside and out. I waited till my visa was about to expire before I started researching (big mistake). Volunteer at as many places as you can and make yourself indispensable in your employment with a company that can afford a visa. You want connections and you want good experience to beat the massive competition for jobs. Companies are unlikely to take on a foreign national who will cost them more unless they have a damn good CV.
As for me I lucked out and met my future spouse while in Glasgow. Still didn't help in the immediate. I had to move back to my country and go through 3.5 years and a wedding to be able to move back in 2019. And damn is it all VERY expensive! But it got me back to Glasgow, so maybe date while you're here lol? Good luck to you whatever you decide. Glasgow is an awesome place to live. |
