Thanks a Lot.

Hello All,
I am perusing PGDBA (Post Graduate Diploma in Business Administration) course with a reputed institution. Will PGDBA be considered as Masters by the Home office for applying Tier 1 visa?

Thanks a Lot.

Is your qualification listed in PBS list? If yes, then it will considered. If not, contact NARIC. Many people have got their quailification verified by NARIC.

NARIC used to treat PGDM from IIM as Masters equivalent. I dont think the position has changed.

IIM is not in question here. There are many reputed colleges awards PGDBM but not listed in PBS list.

it was brought to my attention that the pharmacy profession (Mpharm, Master of pharmacy) title is not found on the PBS list. a bit strange! the degree is taught at UK unis, and the only degree relevant to the profession. it is a total of 4 years course (undergraduate course).

any idea anyone?

I can tell you PGDBM from Symbiosis is not considered equivalent.

From my experiance PGDCA from a good UK university is not considered as equal to UK masters...

how could they teach us a master degree course, known as master of pharmacy and not consider it master?

NARIC often decide that a master degree is not equivalent to a master degree in UK regardless whether it's called a master or not. Quite often it depends on the institution and the country that award the said degree. For example, if you have a degree awarded by a reputable institution in a reputable country then it shouldn't be a problem. A lot of degrees from the third world countries are "downgraded" in a way.
