首先是英国《卫报》发布新闻称英国将向国际留学生提供毕业后两年的工作签证，即PSW签证，2020/2021学年入学学生将受益于这项新的政策，留学圈一片哗然。
简单来说，PSW（Post Study Work ）签证，允许留学生在毕业后继续留在英国长达两年时间，从而有更充足的时间和精力去寻找海外的工作机会。该政策对于2020年入学的英国本科和硕士留学生有效，他们将在毕业后获得2年PSW签证。
官方回应全文：
从上图中根据英国政府Home Office的官方回复可以看出：
We’ve had the following details about the Graduate route confirmed by the Home Office:
我们从英国内政部获悉以下关于毕业生签证的具体信息：
Any international student who will complete their course in or after the summer of 2021 will be eligible to apply for the new two year Graduate route.
预计在2021年夏季及之后毕业的国际学生将符合该两年毕业生签证的条件，
Unfortunately the Graduate route will not be open to those who have completed their studies or are due to complete them in the summer of 2020
但是很遗憾，2020年夏季毕业的学生将不会符合该签证申请的要求。
We are still waiting on further details about implementation, but the Home Office has announced key features of the route:
新签证类型的具体实施细节还有待进一步制定及公布，但是目前英国内政部宣布了一下关键要点：
It will be open to international students who have successfully completed a course of study at undergraduate (RQF 6) level or above at a Higher Education Provider with a track record of compliance, and who have a valid and extant student visa at the time of application;
该签证面向人群为顺利在英国高等教育机构攻读本科（RQF6）及以上课程的国际毕业生，并在申请时持有效的学生签证。
The application process will be simple. There will be an application fee and applicants will pay the Immigration Health Surcharge;
该签证的申请流程将会很便捷，当然申请人在申请的同时也需要支付相关的签证申请费及医疗保险费用；
Applicants will be subject to identity, criminality and security checks
内政部将会对申请人的身份背景，犯罪记录及危害社会安全等所有不良记录进行全方位的调查，
The leave period granted will be two years and will be non-extendable. Settlement rights will not be accrued;
获签后，申请人将获得为期两年有效期的签证，该签证不能延期，将不会累积在定居时长内。
Individuals will be able to work, or look for work in any sector, at any level;
申请人获签后将可以在英国境内工作或者寻找工作；
Individuals will be able to switch into the skilled work route if they meet the requirements.
如果满足相关要求后，申请人可以转申技术工作类签证。
Again, as soon as we hear more we’ll update you.
再次，我们将随时告知各位关于该类型签证的政策的进一步落实信息。
The new route will be launched in the summer of 2021. Any student who successfully completes their degree-level course at a qualifying institution in the summer of 2021 or thereafter will be eligible to apply. This includes students who are already studying. Announcing the route now enables prospective students to decide where to study, knowing they have the option of staying in the UK to work after completing their studies.
新的签证路径将于2021年夏天开始实施。任何在2021年夏季在英国认可的高等教育机构完成学位以上课程的学生都有资格申请该签证，这也包括那些已经在英国就读的学生。现在宣布该政策是为了让学生可以提前决定自己的就读意向，并且知晓自己在将来完成学业后是有留在英国工作的机会的。
All students accepted for the Graduate route will receive two years non-extendable leave. During that time, they will be able to work, or look for work, at any skill level. Graduates will also be able to switch into skilled work once they have found a suitable job.
所有获得该资格的学生将会有为期两年不可延长的工作签证。在这期间，申请人可以停留在英国工作或者寻找工作机会，且该工作将不会有等级的限制。如果申请在此期间找到适合的工作的话，即可申请转成技术工作类型签证。
The earlier Tier 1 (Post-Study Work) route was closed in 2012 because evidence suggested that the route was open to abuse, and many on the route were unemployed or in low-skilled work. The Graduate route will have safeguards to ensure that we have control over who can access it, in order to prevent such abuse in the future. Students will only be eligible for the route if they can demonstrate that they have successfully passed their course at degree level or above, studied at a trusted institution, and complied with the terms of their student visa.
我们于2012年关于的第一层级毕业生工作类签证是因为当时有证据表明该签证有被滥用的情况，此外很多获得该类型签证的申请人都在从事的是低技能等级的工作。新的签证路径将不会出现此类问题，因为我们会确保申请人完全有资格获得该资格，以防止该签证被滥用。学生必须要提供证据来证明他们成功的在英国高等教育机构完成了学位以上课程，并且完全符合学生签证期限内的资格要求后才有可能获得该毕业生签证的条件。
对于想刚申请留学的同学来说，对于PSW还是不了解，什么是PSW签证？有什么用？
PSW签证全称Post Study Work，旨在允许本科、硕士、博士等国际学生在英国留学毕业后，有两年时间在英找工作或开展商业活动。自2008年6月，英国政府开始签发PSW签证。
由于PSW没有对学生有工种、年薪的限制，结果造成大量移民逗留英国。在移民问题引发社会争议的压力下，英国政府2012年4月取消了PSW签证。
在PSW取消后，留学生想在毕业后留英工作，只能通过获得“T2签证”或“毕业生创业者签证”这两个途径来实现，可谓是非常困难！
如今PSW签证的复出不仅能为中国留学生带来额外的海外工作经验，更是提升了他们的国际竞争力。当2年PSW签证到期时，无论学生是打算继续留英积累经验还是回来效力国家，这对学生未来的个人发展都起到了添砖加瓦的积极作用。
