Why do you think it would be a problem? As long as you have the award/degree certificate from Preston Univ, then you'll get the points for Masters Degree plus another 5 for "UK experience" points.

Ah, I see. Well then you need to submit the degree to NARIC. And if you already have doubts about acceptability, then don't claim the point. Easy.

As far as I am aware it is an unaccredited institution.

The state of Oregon list of unaccredited degree suppliers

The state of Maine list of unaccredited post-secondary educational institutions

A search on the CHEA website has the following result:

Database of Institutions Accredited By Recognized U.S. Accrediting Organizations

Search Results: 0 institutions found for 'preston university'

If it is not accredited in the US, I do not hold out much hope for the affiliated campuses in Pakistan offering qualifications that will get you points for HSMP.

Can you score enough with your other qualifications? I hope so. Naric will confirm what the UK equivalent is for your masters degree anyway.
