Doctor of Physiotherapy HSMP Tier 1 Visa Question

Post by listonb » Tue Nov 10, 2009 2:33 am

Wanting to apply for Tier 1 visa, however doctor of physiotherapy (DPT), is not a masters or a PHD program, it is a bachelors program followed by a clinical doctorate (3+years extra) program.

So this qualification does not show up on the points calculator. Will the NARIC statement of comparability provide me with enough points to reach the 75 required? Currently 10 short without the masters/phd.

Thanks

i doubt if you can take up employment as a doctor on a Tier 1.

You better double check with hpc-uk.org if you can practice as physiotherapist in the UK.

Did you apply for UK NARIC and did they class your qualification as equivalent to the UK Masters.
If yes you have your chance, but wait for other members to reply as well.
Also better wait for HPC approval before taking any decision.
Check point 86 of Teir 1General Guidance
