I am an elctronics engineer with BSc. Electrical Engg. degree from UET Taxila Pakistan. Its a 4 year program taught in English. After its completion you have completed 16 years of formal education and are eligible to be called a Professional Engineer in Pakistan.
I am planning to apply for the HSMP. There is some conmfusion regarding the Academic and Professional/Vocational qualification. I have sent my docs. to UK NARIC for a letter of comparability, however, I am not sure if this degree of mine is enough to satisfy the English language requirement as the HSMP team may consider it a Professional/vocational qualification rather than a Academic degree.
Does anybody has the info. whether an bachelors engineering degree (like mines) taught in English can fullfil the English language requirement for HSMP?

Ur name
Degree awarded..name of degree
Course was taught in english..
Date of award of degree.......this is vvvv imp..if it is not in the letter..u r on a risk of rejection.
Inshallah u will get through..and i m 200% sure that ur degree is equivalent to UK bachelor's as well..no need to do NARIC evaluation ..but as u already applied for that..so no worries....

YEs given that your first degree is equivalent to UK bschelors degree. Also the wording of letter from univeties must meet the requirement of HO.Actually my question was that a Bachelors in engineering degree taught in English will be sufficient to satisy English language requirements?
Not fully correct. U could only use your fist degre as prove of english proficiency if it is comparable to UK bachlors NARIC. THis is the role of NARIC to confirm this. If your bachelor degree is not camparable to UK first degree U l not be abvle to use your degree certificate as prove of english proficiency.NARIC will only give its verdict on degree equivalence but not on English language issue.
see aboveFor that I have to get a letter from the University. So the question remains whether a BSc. Engg. degree taught in English can satify the English language requirement as HSMP guys may consider it a professional/vocational degree (which even if taught in english won't be enough to qualify ).
Hello Asim,asim_khan wrote:Dear Mate,
well, in ur case , the date of award of degree is 2nd June 2000. u try to just put this date as.....date of award of degree was June 2, 2000.
and where have u read in guidance of HSMP that NARIC is a must..my frnd..no need to do NARIC..its not for us who studied in a recognized UNI like Karachi University, LUMS, UET Lahore or Taxila...
NARIC evaluation is for personal satisfaction if u r not sure that ur degree is recognized or not...an applicant through GBP 20 to do NARIC evaluation rather than to through GBP 400 for HSMP application and got refused for this reason.
well but unfortunately on this forum i have read a thread that an applicant from NUST got refusal as his bachelor's is not being recognized by HSMP team despite of attahing a NARIC certificate...but exceptions are always there...
so here u r....if u have already applied for NARIC evaluation which i believe u did...let ur certificate come..and then jus attach with ur application.

1. Can I apply thru the naric.org.uk online
2. How they will send the Letter of Comparability; I mean will it be thru Postal or they will send it the Soft copy in the form of pdf or doc file. I dont get any information on this in their site.
3. If they send it thru Postal, then who and how the postal charges will be paid, say I reside in India.
