University Letter To Support English Medium

[DJ007]

IT WOULD BE VERY GENEROUS IF SOMEONE CAN GIVE ME THE IDEA ABOUT WHAT WOULD BE THE REQUIRED "FORMAT" TO GET A LETTER FROM UNIVERSITY TO PROVE THAT THE MEDIUM OF INSTRUCTION FOR MY BACHELORS DEGREE WAS ENGLISH.

You dont require such letter in any circumstances. If your qualification is on BIA points calculator, only your Degree Certificate would be enough. If it is not on points calculator, you need to give approved English language test (e.g. IELTS, etc.)

Read guidance notes carefully for required documents.

Though off-topic, but reading this will also be helpful.

I was referring to Tier 1 Visa. The guidance notes you are quoting are for HSMP.

Code: Select all

First of all thanks for taking interest.

Sorry i didnt mention that my inquiry was regarding HSMP, but if am not wrong HSMP falls in Tier 1 Category, right "COOLESTGUYC"?? If so, there should be same rules.

As suggested by CoolestGuyC, i checked my qualification on BIA point calculator, but am little confused as which category to choose as i've done B.Tech(I.T/4year) from Sikkim Manipal Institute of Tech, so the B.tech falls under (Honours/Special) or (min. four year program) or (ordinary/pass)??? i know it sounds stupid but i want to make it sure as after choosing second option am not getting 10 points.

Please help.

No, it does not. HSMP is not same as Tier 1, there are certain substantial differences. If you have applied for HSMP Approval letter prior to June 30, 2008 then above guidance would be valid.

If you are going to apply in near future then you can apply ONLY for Tier 1 and not HSMP(it closed on 30 June). For applying in Tier 1 scheme, read only Tier 1 guidance and not HSMP guidance.

You should use (min. 4 years program). for your application.

What is the final outcome then?

Do you require the English language certificate or not?

I am in the same situation - My degree course is on the BIA points calculator, will my degree certificate be sufficient in this case.

Thanks!!
