UK Post-Study Visa: Does It Cover Jan 2020 Intake?

No, the UK Post-Study Work (PSW) visa, officially known as the Graduate Route, applies only to students who graduated on or after 1 July 2021.

Since the January 2020 intake would typically finish their master's by early or mid-2021, they do not qualify for the PSW visa unless their graduation was delayed beyond 1 July 2021.
