UK job market slowdown raises concerns for international students
Economic Times
·

Medial
The UK's rising unemployment rate, now at 4.6%, is adversely impacting international students seeking post-graduate work due to fewer job opportunities and increased competition. In May 2025, over 109,000 payroll jobs were lost, leading to declining job vacancies. These conditions make securing a Skilled Worker visa challenging, despite the Graduate Route visa offering two years to find employment. As hiring becomes costlier, entry-level wages lag behind living costs, prompting students to lower job expectations or face uncertain career prospects.

Amid the suspension of visa services to Canadian nationals by India, Indian higher education platforms are encouraging students to explore universities in the UK and the US as alternatives. The move comes as uncertainty looms over Canada's response to India's action. Canadian universities, relying heavily on contributions from international students, may face a decline in demand this year. Students already in Canada or with visas may proceed as planned, but there may be uncertainties for the upcoming spring intake. Other destinations such as Germany, France, Finland, Greece, and Italy are also being considered by students.

Angel investor Rajesh Sawhney warns that a US master’s degree no longer guarantees high-paying tech jobs for Indian students, with $200,000 starting salaries now elusive.

F-1 visa delays and potential changes to the OPT program further threaten job prospects, signaling a major shift in the value of international degrees for Indian students and families.
