Dear Sir/madam,

I just want to know that if a person who has achieved his Master degree from Great Britain then would that be sufficient to meet the new requirement of english language for Indefinite application introduced on 28th October 2013. In that case either attaching the degree/transcript will be sufficient or still need the Naric report demonstrating its comparability to UK bachelor.
regards.

UKBA email:

Dear Mr ......... ,

Thank you for your email dated 20th September 2013. Your enquiry has been forwarded to Home Office Public Enquiries because it is not a policy enquiry.

Please be advised that those who have obtained a degree taught in English will not be required to show a formal speaking and listening qualification.

Those with an academic qualification (not a professional or vocational qualification) who provide appropriate evidence that the qualification was taught or researched in English are considered automatically to meet the English language component of the KoLL requirement and will not be required to show a formal speaking and listening qualification. The qualification must be deemed by UK NARIC to meet the recognised standard of a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree or PhD in the UK .



Yours sincerely,

Mo Martins

Statement of Comparability

How can we help you?

The UK NARIC Statement of Comparability is an officially recognised document that confirms the recognition of an overseas qualification and its comparable level in the UK, irrespective of it being an academic, vocational or professional award. It is used by universities, colleges, employers and Government departments and agencies forming part of their decision-making process. A Statement of Comparability can be used to help support applications made under Tiers 1 and 2 of the Points Based System for immigration to the UK.

A Statement of Comparability states, in English, what your overseas qualifications equate to in the UK

Please note that at UK NARIC we are unable to provide a comparability statement for the grades obtained in your qualifications. It is recommended that you present transcripts directly to potential employers/admitting institutions for consideration on an individual basis in line with specific grade requirements.

Example of a Statement of Comparability.
