DO YOU KNOW YOU CAN SWITCH TIER 4 STUDENT VISA TO SKILLED WORKER VISA..
You can switch from a tier 4 Student Visa to a Skilled Worker Visa (formerly the Tier 2 Visa) from within the UK if you completed the course of your study, have a job offer from an employer with a sponsor licence, and meet all the skilled worker visa eligibility requirements (as explained below). Under the new UK immigration rules in 2023, you can still apply for a skilled worker visa before the end of your course, but the employment start date must be no earlier than your course completion date. Otherwise, you have to leave and submit out of the UK. If you are studying towards PhDs, the start date of your skilled worker visa must no earlier than 24 months after the start date of your course. Those on a short-term Student Visa are not able to switch to a Skilled Worker visa in the UK.
Requirements for switching Tier 4 student visa to Skilled Worker visa
To make the switch from a UK Student Visa to a Skilled Worker Visa, you must:
Have completed the course of your study. If you are studying a full-time PhD, the employment start date should be no earlier than 24 months of your course.

Meet the minimum salary requirements: as a new graduate, you may be eligible to switch to a Skilled Worker Visa if you have a lower salary than £26,200 per year, if you are classed as a new entrant or if you have a Ph.D. - see below for more details on Tier 4 to Tier 2 new rules.
Have a job must be on the eligible occupation list
Meet the English language requirements
Have sufficient funds to support yourself in the UK (you will not need to meet this requirement if you have been in the UK for 1 year or more on a Student Visa).
