Generally in the UK a lot of companies specifically hire students straight out of university with the understanding that they'll still be a little green behind the ears.

If you've got a decent academics and a fundamental grasp of programming you shouldn't have too much trouble getting a job. What can be key is that you have something on your CV to make you stand-out, this can be an interesting final year project, open source contributions, an internship, etc.

The biggest mistake I see people make is restricting themselves to only apply to jobs local to them. You might be able to get away with this if you live near a major tech hub, but if you don't then you're majorly restricting yourself.
