Fresh Talent

Scottish Government’s Fresh Talent initiative encourages people to consider coming to live and work in Scotland and has attracted 3,300 international graduates to Scotland to gain work experience. Under the Fresh Talent: Working in Scotland scheme, overseas students can apply to stay and work in Scotland for two years after graduation without the need for a work permit. The scheme applies to people who have been living in Scotland and studying at a Scottish college or university (to HND level or above).
