As part of the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) review of the Graduate route, the MAC commissioned Revealing Reality to conduct a series of qualitative interviews with Graduate visa holders. The research sought to better understand:

• the reasons for studying in the UK
• awareness of the Graduate visa route
• influences on decision-making to study in the UK
• experiences while on the Graduate visa route
• challenges and successes in seeking employment
• attitudes towards proposed changes to the Skilled Worker visa
