The High Potential Individual (HPI) route is a short-term work visa for individuals at an early career stage, who have shown they have the potential to benefit the UK workforce.

You can apply for the HPI route if you have graduated from an eligible international university in the 5 years immediately before your application.

In order to apply for this route, your qualification must have been verified by Ecctis. Guidance on how to do this and how much this will cost can be found at Visas and Nationality Services (ecctis.com).

You do not need to have a job offer to apply.

This page lists the eligible international universities for the last 6 years. Select the list for the year you graduated:

If successful you will be given a 2-year work visa (3-year for those with a PhD). You can switch to other long-term employment visas if you meet the eligibility requirements.
