SEGS, awesome!
If you are not a UK/EU graduate who's willing to work in UK, you should have heard about Science and Engineering Graduates Scheme(SEGS). No ideas? Ok, let's take a look at it.
SEGS was launched on 25 October last year which was introduced by Home Office allowing "non-EEA nationals who have graduated from UK higher or further education establishments in certain physical sciences, mathematics and engineering subjects with a 2.2 or higher to remain in the UK for 12 months after their studies in order to pursue a career." The purpose of setting this scheme is to enourage more overseas students to study in UK and contribute to the specific industries such as physical science, engineering and IT research after their graduations. As a result, it may improve UK's high technology competence and solve the problem of skilled worker shortage in associated markets. The scheme brings people like me a wonderful chance to pursue our careers in this country.
Before you apply for SEGS, please make sure that your are qualified. First of all, do check the course list (PDF) on the website to find out whether your course is in it (check the JACS code). If you have taken the combination course with two or three subjects, please follow the instruction mentioned in the same file. In my situation, because I am Msc in Information Technology and Management (JACS code: G500), which was not listed in the course list. I had to ask my university to provide an offcial letter to prove that half of my course is Information Technology (JACS code: G5) in order to match the qaulification (hopefully it will be done in these days).
The application form of the scheme can be downloaded here. It will cost you £335 for applicatioins made by post (decide within around 20-70 days) and £500 for applications made in person (decide within around 24 hours).
If we can pass the SEGS, we are not restricted in any work type in UK for a year. This is one of the best ways for us to work in UK. Is it expensive? No, I don't think so. At least it costs less than applying for extending my visa.
