Is MBA acceptable for Tier 1 general

[email257525]

Hi
All,


can you one please advise on the followings:

My friend has done his full time one year MBA course from a british university. IS this qualification acceptable to apply for Tier 1 general
Does he still need to have confirmation from Naric or a University letter will be sufficient?
If need to get confirmation from Naric, Does he need to send his both First degree and MBA degree to Naric or just the Master Degree?

Regards

Check it on PBS, and if your university is listed and you are getting the points, the of course mate you are eligible.

If its been done from UNIVERSITY then its fine... The uni should be in PBS calculator...

you don't have to give your British diploma to Naric to confirm your qualification. MBA is a Master's degree - 35 point. double-check with online calculator as tehre is a list of the UK universities there, but i am pretty positive that any Master's degree from the UK counts.

Any Seniors please,

then it comes and university is also there.

Dude MBA is a masters degree in Business Administration...Is it that simple...

[Nona]

I have an MBA degree but doesn't qualify under MBA (since it is not from universities listed in Annex D). It can qualify under Master's since the University (which is recognised by NARIC) has awarded a "Degree of Master of Business Administration".

Now, this should be reflected is the Points-Based calculator right? When you use it on the website, there is no Business Administration listed under "Course of Study". The closest definition is "Business / Economics / Management / Accounting / Finance". If I use this, I'll get the points.

Question is, is this good enough or should I ask for "letter of comparability" from NARIC?

See also MBA provision transitional arrangements.

[Nona]

Don't qualify under MBA transitional arrangements either. Its just Master's points that I can claim. If course of study is not listed in drop-down in exact words "Business Administration", then do I need to get NARIC letter of comparability?

Can you provide the name of the University+Institution+ Degree and lets check that.

Can you provide the name of the University+Institution+ Degree and lets check that.

Country of Study: India
State: Karnataka
Qualification: Master's degree
Institution or body: Karnataka State Open University, Mysore

That apart, here are a few more data points just in case.
Course length: 3 years or less than 4
Course Subject: Biz/Economics/Mgmt/Acctg/Fin

Btw, what is the significance of "Course length"? - Do I need to supply evidence to prove it was a 3 year course? If yes, would academic transcripts/markscard do?

Quite strange, when I checked the PBS calculator, it has awarded 35 points to your degree. Am I missing something. Check screenshot here.

Thanks Push-hsmp.
Let me try to clarify -
(a) This degree doesn't qualify under MBA or MBA transitional provision. In the light of this, can I claim points under Masters especially when "Business Administration" is not under Course of Study (I am using the nearest "Biz/Eco/Mgmt/Acctg/Fin")
(b) They have asked for duration. My degree doesn't state the duration of course. How do I prove duration? Apart from providing the original certificate of award, should I get further evidence like letter of comparability from NARIC? Should I enclose markscards/transcripts?

That is fine. You can still claim points.
b) They have asked for duration. My degree doesn't state the duration of course. How do I prove duration? No. You are not required to prove duration.
Apart from providing the original certificate of award, should I get further evidence like letter of comparability from NARIC? Good to have but not mandatory since your degree is listed in the PBS calculator
Should I enclose markscards/transcripts?Marksheets are not required.[/color]

You can claim points for Masters Degree as above

You dont have to prove the duration. The PBS guidance does not require you to provide any proof re the duration.Just provide the Original degree. Para 87(i) of the guidance note says:

category. The specified documents are as follows:
Original certificate of award of the qualification. This document must be the original (not a copy) and must clearly show the:
•applicant’s name;
•title of the award;
•date of the award; and
•name of the awarding institution.
We will not accept original provisional certificates.

Ok. Got that.
