- The Tier 1 （Graduate Entrepreneur） visa route is for students who want to develop their entrepreneurial skills by setting up a business in the UK. To be eligible, you need to be endorsed by a UK higher education institute （HEI） which has signed up to this scheme. You must also have completed your degree course with this same higher education institute. There is a limit of 1,000 places under this scheme for the first year. An additional 1,000 places will be available under this route for completing MBA students from April 2013. On this scheme, you can stay in the UK for one year initially but you will have the option to extend this for a further 12 months if your HEI is willing to continue to endorse you. To find out which universities and colleges are currently taking part in this scheme, visit this page of UKBA website. Other HEIs will be eligible to take part from April 2013.
