wife has masters...does she need to do english test?

[qawallified]

hi guys, just a quick question for anyone who's in the know. My wife has done a Masters in international relations in Pakistan. Her Masters degree was taught in English medium. What i wanted to know was does her Masters make her exempt from doing the english test for the purposes of a UK Spouse Visa Application or would she still need to do the english test? if anyone knows please help as i'm really confused regarding this and the few people i have asked have given me mixed replies.

Also, if her Masters does mean she is exempt from doing the english test then how do i show this in my visa application? What i mean is, if i submit my wife's degree certificates in my application will that suffice or do i need to add something else as well?? Finally, where should she get her certificates attested from?? the university she studied at is what i presumed but i thought i'd ask just to be on the safe side.

Thanks alot guys.

thank you for the reply - so basically going off that i'm assuming my wife can use her masters degree to prove she meets the english requirement...i will get in touch with UK Naric to get them to verify her masters degree and i will include her degree certificates in our application...one last question, does she need to get the degree certificates attested? if so, by whom?

ps i was told by a colleague at work that i would also have to get a letter from my wife's university to certify that the degree was taught in english...is this correct?
