Studies

Are you a graduate from China currently living in the UK on a Graduate Route visa?

I am conducting a research study exploring the post-graduation work experiences of Chinese graduates in the UK, with a particular focus on informal or undeclared employment.

You may be eligible to take part if you:

• Are originally from China,
• Graduated from a UK university within the last two years, and
• Have experience of working informally (undeclared work) while on a Graduate Route visa

What’s involved?

Participants will be invited to take part in a confidential, one-to-one interview lasting approximately 60 to 90 minutes. Interviews will be conducted online at a time that suits you. You will not be asked to share your real name or any identifiable details. All data will be handled confidentially and anonymously in accordance with research ethics guidelines.

As a token of appreciation, you will receive a £20 thank you payment for your time and contribution.

Why participate?

Your insights will contribute to a better understanding of the experiences and challenges faced by international graduates navigating the UK job market. If you are interested in participating or would like to find out more, please contact:
