Changes announced to the Tier 1 (Graduate entrepreneur) route


14 March 2013

From 6 April 2013, the Tier 1 (Graduate entrepreneur) route is being expanded to include an additional 1,000 places for talented MBA graduates from UK Higher Education Institutions.

This means the new allocations for 2013-2014 will be as follows:

  • 900 places will be allocated to qualifying Higher Education Institutions for the purpose of endorsing graduates in any subject;
  • 1,000 places will be allocated to qualifying Higher Education Institutions for the purpose of endorsing MBA graduates; and
  • 100 places will be allocated to UKTI for the purpose of endorsing overseas graduates.

We are also introducing provision for you to apply from overseas (so long as it is still within 12 months of your graduation) and other minor improvements to the category.

Please monitor this website for further information.
