English language requirement

Post by aditipritam » Wed Jan 25, 2012 11:35 am

Hi,

My husband will soon be applying for FLR (M).
He got his bachelor's degree from a n Indian University (This university is available in the Tier 1 points calculator list).

I've got following questions:

1) Is his degree certificate enough for satisfying 'English language requirement'?
2) Does he need any additional proof's? like NARIC certificate?
3) Does he needs to give the the additional English test? if yes, which one?

Thanks,
Adi

The official guide doesnt mention getting a NARIC certificate. It says:
How can I check if my degree/PhD meets the criteria for the English language requirement before I make an application?

You can check this using the Points Based Calculator which can be located at the following UK Border Agency web address:
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/pointscalculator
The calculator contains information from UK NARIC as to which academic qualifications they deem to have been taught to the standard of a Bachelors or Master’s degree or PhD in the UK. When you start using the calculator input any answer you wish until you get to the page on ‘English language’. Then select I have a qualification that was taught in English
On the following page ‘English language – qualifications’
enter the details of your qualification as requested including country of award; qualification; institution or body: course length, course subject and year of award.

If you get the print out (the pdf u get at the end) from the points based calculator when you enter your education details. This should be enough to show that you meet the requirements. I would also suggest to get a letter from your Uni if you can stating that the course was taught in English medium.

So no need to the NARIC certificate then?

Hi aditipritam

If you have the time and money to get the certificate then please do so, otherwise you should take a print out from the website stating that the results are checked against NARIC database from UKBA and the NARIC PDF results showing your score.
