I beleive the Masters degree is mandatory for Tier 1 from April 1stwaqas_punjabian wrote:Hi all,
Can anybody tell me if it is essential to have a MASTER's DEGREE and A SALARY of minimum 20,000 GBP per year to apply for Tier 1(General)?
I have a Bachelor of Computer Science(Honors) degree. Can I apply for Tier-1 (General)?
I have never been in UK. And want to apply for immigration as an employee. Is their some other way out, if I am unable to apply for Tier-1?
regards,
Waqas
dear waqas, which in which country did you study? in the current rule even if some one has masters from some countries such as (bangladesh, pakistan ,india etc..) will not qualify for Tier 1. because most of the master degree (almost 95%) from most of the institutons in bangladesh, pakistan, india etc.. is not equavaent to UK masters degree so the point for qualification is 0. its really scary for the applicants who was palllning to apply for Tier 1 from those countires. but who knows , rules may be changed in future!!waqas_punjabian wrote:
It means I cannot apply.
Is their, some way, other than Tier-1?

The catch here is, you wont get any points for your Bachelors degree and your need find points in other sections.

hello nk, did you check the points by chosing master degree completed from indian instituions in the point calculator? the name of the instituion being in the point calculator actually doesnt mean it is equvalent. most of the names of the instituions are in the point calculator but are not equavalent to uk master degree. i personally checked some pakistan and bangladesh instituions and most of them got 0 points for master degree. dont know yet about indian instituions.nksg wrote:Neonlight your stats of "almost 95%" does not apply for India.. as i have seen most of the (almost all) Indian institutes are on the calculator.. i would say just 1% of indian institutes might not be on the UKBA calculator.. not sure on Pakistan and BD...

jerrin wrote:Yes I meant the same. You cant achieve it without a good qualification. But still I would like to say, Masters is not mandatory for Tier-1.
