International applicants
When applying for a job in the UK, it's important to understand that the application process might differ from what you’re accustomed to in your home country. We aim to ensure transparency and a fair assessment of all candidates and recognise that different cultures may place varying emphasis on experience and skills.
When completing your application, focus on showcasing what you would bring to the role and why you are the most suitable candidate, aligning your application with the specific requirements of the position.
Right to work in the UK
If you think you may require a visa to work in the UK, there are instances where the University may support you in an application for a Skilled Worker Visa by providing sponsorship for a role.
For some research and academic roles, there may also be the option of the University supporting you in an application for a Global Talent Visa, or you may find you can apply for one independently without University support.
Because not all roles are eligible for Skilled Worker visa sponsorship, and not all roles are eligible for a Global Talent Visa, we encourage you to ensure you understand the requirements of both visa types before embarking on an application.
You can do this by referring to our dedicated Staff Immigration webpages for further details.
