The High Potential Individual (HPI) visa route is open to people who have graduated from an eligible international university. The gov.uk page for the route says the graduation must fall in the 5 years immediately before the application. The eligible universities are named in a separate gov.uk list.
The 5-year window
A graduation counts for the HPI route only if it falls in the 5 years immediately before the application. The window runs back from the application date.
Where to find the university list
The eligible universities are named in the gov.uk publication High Potential Individual visa: global universities list. The names appear only in that list, so it is the place to check which universities are included. For the wider set of visa routes, see the visa guide.
Read the list on gov.uk (opens in a new tab).
