Can I use my UK bachelor's degree for British citizenship?

[milomonkey]

Hello,

I have been living in uk for little over 10 year, originally from Poland.

I passed my GCSEs, A levels, foundation course and BA Degree in Product Design at Ravensbourne college.

Planning to to apply for British Citizenship and I am currently trying to understand what I need to do so. I heard I need the Life in the UK test done and ESOL.

The question is do I need both ESOL and Life in the UK? Would my BA degree be enough to eliminate the need for ESOL test?

If it does not then is it possible to simply arrange to only do the exam without the need to do the whole course as I feel very confident with my English language skills.

Thank you

Any info on this? Its hard to find anything that could help me.

If your university is recognised by the UKBA then yes, profile original degree certificate + life in the UK.
Seniors confirm this.

Is there a phone number I can use to get in contact with anyone to confirm this? I tried a few UKgov numbers nut it has a little too many automated phone lines

Call your local council and speak to their national checking service team.

Yeah I did they told me to call UK Naric, I called UK Naric but they said to Call UK BA, I tried calling UK BA but it is all automated. I will call UK Naric again tomorrow. This process isn't very convenient

A UK taught Degree is acceptable to meet the English Language requirement.

if the awarding body is " the City University" and is written clearly on your degree, then it is recognized.try to check the PBS calculator
