Language criteria for naturalisation

Post by pragneshmpatel » Wed Sep 24, 2014 4:33 pm

Hi all,
I am planning to apply for naturalisation and language criteria is confusing.

My degree is present on pbs and i claimed all my past english points on this degree.I also have original transcript which mentions medium of instruction was English. is these two document sufficient for language criteria or i still have to apply for UK NARIC certificate for my degree?

Documents:
- Original Degree Certificate
- Original Transcript mentioning "medium of instruction was English"

UK NARIC language certificate needed?

I would get NARIC to be on the safe side although I think it is not needed. However be advised that the "medium of instruction is english" certificate is not the same as "Degree was taught in english" certificate and will not be accepted. This is all based on my understanding of reading the posts and asking questions in the past few months.
I was in a similar situation and in the end decided to take the english test to avoid all this nonsense. The next issue you will face is what option to tick on the application form as none of the given options on the form will match your situation. It seems like no one knows for sure.
