Hi,

If you are using the same Bachelor's Degree to claim points under "Educational Qualifications", you don't need to provide additional evidence that the degree is taught in English. In such a situation, you would normally corroborate the Degree with a NARIC Certificate of Comparability.

If you are not using that Degree to claim points, I'm afraid you may have to get a certificate from your University and not from the college. The reason is: you mentioned that all your Degree certificates are from the University. The rule as per caseworker guidelines is that the evidenec should be in the form of an Original Degree Certificate and an Original letter, both from the awarding body.

While the letter from your college states its affiliation clearly, there could be that iota of confusion and thus the risk of refusal.

Others with similar experience may like to comment.

I think you need to get it from the university i.e. the awarding body.

Following is the extract from the caseworker manual for English Language Requirement :

Applicants should provide both their original degree certificate and an original letter from the awarding body confirming the course was taught in English.

The original degree certificate should clearly show:

* the date of the award; and
* the title of the award; and
* the name of the awarding institution; and
* their name.

The original letter from the awarding body should show:

* the applicant’s name;
* the qualification obtained;
* the date of award of the degree;
* that the course was taught in English.

I am from Chennai, India and I am looking for any people around here to share experience/knowledge on HSMP process.

If you will be interested in sharing your experience/knowledge, please send me an e-mail to saravanab@gmail.com

With Thanks and Regards,
Saravana
