she can switch if she successfully completed and passed a UK recognised bachelor's degree. For the detailed requirements read para 16-18 of the T2 policy guidance.

Hi Manci, Thanks for your kind reply. please link below ..

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas ... /applying/

and this paragraph on this page is very confusing .

during your most recent period of permission to stay, or period of continuous permission to stay that includes your most recent permission to stay - this must have included permission for you to study for the qualification.

Based on her one degree already completed here successfully , she can switch on Tier-2 isnt it? although she is on a Tier 4 now for a different course which hasnt been completed.

Thanks in advance

if she obtained a bachelor's degree and has been on T4 continuously during her studies then she can switch to T2G even if she hasn't completed her master's degree.

For the detailed requirements refer to immigration rule 245HD
