After completing your UK education in Germany, you can apply for an 18-month post-study residence permit upon graduation. This gives you time to find a job that matches your qualifications. During these 18 months, you may take up any kind of employment to support yourself and fund your job search. You can apply for this permit as soon as you have passed your final exam.
