English Language - Degree taught in english *** SOLVED ***

Post by chennaibabu » Mon Nov 23, 2009 7:39 am

Hi, I am applying for initial UK Tier 1. On the English Language Section, I am planning to use the "Degree taught in english" option. I am using MBA as my qualification for claiming points on Education. But I have only evidence on my Bachelor degree for "Degree taught in english". Is this okay?

This might be a silly question (most people would say "Yes"). But the doubt is on the question V5 (Under English Language section) which asks "Tick to confirm that the applicant's qualification can be found on the points based calculator"

Because the qualification I am using for English language (Bachelor's degree) and for Education (Master's Degree) are different, I am doubtful if this is correct to use.

If anyone had been in a similar situation, or if you are confident about my doubt, please drop in few words. Much Appreciated.

Hi chetanojha, thanks for the reply. So I guess I got confused with the term "degree listed in PBS". It would be more helpful for my understanding if you can explain what do you mean by "degree is listed in PBS list". Recently PBS can include only qualifications higher than Post Graduate right? So how can my Bachelor (used for English Language) be listed in PBS? Probably I got the meaning wrong, and hoping you can correct me.

No it also list Bachelor'e Degree which can be used for English. For Qualification points,only Masters will help.
