Hello
I need to prove that my international qualification(s) meet the academic and/or English language requirements will instead be required to obtain official statements from UK NARIC. I did my education in Anna University, India. I have the below documents
– Degree
– Consolidated Mark Sheets(with Medium of Instruction as English in the bottom of the certificate)
The consolidated mark sheets provides marks with a percentage. It does not give the score in CGPA. Are these documents sufficient for issuing the documents for UKVI Tier 2 general VISA?
Regards
Viswa
Hi Viswa,
Thank you for the message.
The Visas and Nationality Service costs £125 + VAT (£150) and is a 10 Working Day turnaround. These statements confirm your Academic Qualification Level (AQUALS) and/or English Language Proficiency (ELPS) – as appropriate for your personal circumstances and immigration route.
To meet the requirements for UK NARIC to be able to provide an English Language Assessment you must hold a degree of Bachelors, Masters or Phd level from an overseas institution that was solely taught in the medium of English.
Please visit our website and Take the Red Route for Visas and Nationality to apply for this service.
We will require the following documents for each of the qualifications you would like to be included:
• Final Certificate
• Full Academic Transcripts / Mark Sheets for each year of study
• A Medium of Instruction Letter from the Awarding Institution confirming it was taught solely in English
Regards,
UK NARIC
Hi Viswa,
Did you got the answer for this ? I am exactly in same scenario on Medium of instruction.
My marksheet or transscript has medium of instruction as English in it. Does it suffice UK Naric requirement
Regards,
Guna
Hi Guna
Thank you for your comment.
Although it may be stated on your documents already we would need to see a separate statement issued from the awarding university to confirm that the course has been taught and assessed in English.
We only require a scanned copy of the letter so it can be sent to you as an email attachment. We have an example of this letter published on our website for your reference:

Good afternoon,
My questions are about Naric Qualification Framework versus EQF RQF SCQF
– Does UK Naric Band Framework follow the European Qualification Framework -EQF- and the EU Commission Regulations on High Education?
– When evaluating EU University degrees, oficially recognised, already calified attending both their respective EU Countries and the EQF levels, how do you evaluate Doctoral, Master or Integrated Master achieved in any EU country?
I´ve notice that RQF (England / Ireland) lacks Doctoral and Master levels while SCQF (Scotland) doesn´t.
– Do a RQF 6 / SCQF 10 allows to start studies at RQF 8 or SCQF 12? What accademic requirements,degree or RQF do UK students need to study in UK for a Doctoral qualification?
– Why the same level 6 RQF for a Bachelour Hons than without Hons? Do both of them meet the requirements io apply for admision at a UK University for Doctoral studies?
Thanks,
Rufo
Hi Rufo
Thanks for your comment.
Unfortunately, we can’t comment on the comparability of qualification frameworks on our social media.
Generally speaking UK NARIC assesses qualifications that have been benchmarked against the national qualification framework of the country of origin. Therefore we provide comparisons of awards which have a recognised level within the country of origin. UK NARIC is then able to ascertain to what level this is comparable to, within the UK framework.
For more information about the UK qualification frameworks please visit the GOV.UK website: https://www.gov.uk/what-different-qualification-levels-mean/list-of-qualification-levels
Or if you wish to have your specific qualifications assessed please see the individuals page on our website: https://www.naric.org.uk/naric/Individuals/

Hi,
I want to get the comparison done for my bachelor’s degree which I have studied in India for immigration purposes, I have all the original transcripts of every semester but the degree which I have is provisional as I haven’t been to my uni to collect it. So, do you accept a provisional final degree for the comparison?? Or should I get my original degree first
Hi Saurav,
Thank you for your comment.
The usual requirements for a Statement of Comparability are a copy of the final degree certificate along with a copy of the full academic transcripts. If the final certificate is not yet available, we will endeavor to proceed where possible, however this cannot be guaranteed. I would recommend submitting the documents you do have via the online application system and a specialist can review these to see if there is sufficient information/ documentation to provide the service.
I hope this helps.

I have submitted my documents and paid the fee for the following services to UK NARIC
1) Statement of Comparability
2) English Language Assessment.
Will these 2 documents be sufficient for the visa or do i need some other document to satisfy the requirement.
It will be really helpful if you could let me know regarding the same.

Hi,
I will be requiring Tier 2 General work visa. I am from India. I have both undergraduate degree from India and masters degree from the Netherlands. Could you please suggest which one should I use for Visas and Nationality Service?.
Hi Shuvarthi
Thanks for your comment.
Generally speaking, the highest level degree would be a good choice. However, there are other elements to consider, such as, making sure you have all of the documents that we require for the qualification. The documents we will request are: a copy of your final certificate, a copy of your full academic transcripts/marksheets, and a Medium of Instruction letter from your institution. Please also bear in mind the qualification must be solely taught and assessed in English language.
I hope this helps,

Hi Khan baba,
Thanks for your comment.
Depending on the institutions requirements you may be able to prove you English language abilities through the UK NARIC English Language Assessment service. For this service you will need to have an overseas qualification that was taught solely in English. We require a copy of your final certificate, a copy of your full academic transcripts/marksheets, and a Medium of Instruction letter from your institution. This service will give you a level on the CEFR scale which is comparble to an IELTS score and means you may not need to sit an IELTS exam.

If you mean you have Indian Citizenship when you say “IC” then you can put Indian as your nationality.
If not, then please let us know what you mean by “IC”.
For your name, you can put your full name in the first name box, and please put N/A in the surname section on the application form and we can update accordingly when completing the application.
I hope this helps,

Dear NARIC Enquiries,
Kindly, I would like to ask about the ‘proof of English’ for a Tier 2 visa; as it’s one of the requirements to fulfil the based points system.
– I had my International GCSE (IGCSE) in Egypt and, one of my O.L subjects was the ‘English as a Second Language’ which was graded with ‘B’ in November 2008.
– I had my ‘Bachelor of Science’ from the Faculty of Engineering, Alexandria University and was taught in English throughout the 5 years.
– I had my ‘Master of Science’ from the University of Derby, Derby, UK.
So, kindly my question is do I meet the proof of English for Tier 2 visa requirements since I was an IGCSE student and had a master of science degree at one the UK universities?.
Thanks in advance!
Kind Regards,
Hi Nagwan,
Thank you for your comment.
Our service is required when you have achieved a qualification from outside the UK that has been taught in English and would like to use this to show evidence of English Language Knowledge.
It is our understanding that qualifications issued by British awarding bodies should be presented directly to the Home Office for their consideration.
Please note that UK NARIC is a separate organisation from the Home Office and that we are unable to advise on requirements for the visa application process. We recommend you contact the Home Office directly for more information. Their website is https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/uk-visas-and-immigration

Currently, I am unable to get my academic transcript from the institution where graduated from as a result of the nation-wide lock-down of schools in Nigeria due to the Covid 19 pandemic. However, I have with me a copy of final degree certificate and a letter of the medium of instruction that was taught and assessed completely in English.
I would like to find out, if i can still go ahead to make an application for the UK NARIC English Language assessment considering my prevailing situation as am unable to provide the academic transcript at the moment?
I am in need of the information to enable me apply for Tier 2 Visa application in the UK.
Dear Mfon,
Thank you for your comment.
As you are looking to use the UK NARIC assessment to assist with a Visa Application to the Home Office, I would recommend our Visa and Nationality service: https://www.naric.org.uk/visas%20and%20nationality/default.aspx
However, we would usually require the transcripts as part of the application to assist with commenting on the comparable level of the award and the English language proficiency requirements to complete the qualification.
I would recommend that you submit what documents you do currently hold to allow this to be looked into, however, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to proceed with the assessment. If for any reason we are unable to complete the service you can request a refund as per our terms and conditions.
I hope this helps.

Hi,
Is UP State board(INDIA) acceptable in UK?
Hi Naina,
Thank you for your comment.
To allow UK NARIC to look into the comparable level of an award you have achieved overseas we would ask that you submit an application through our website (www.naric.org.uk). We will need to see the necessary documentation before we are able to comment on an equivalency.
I hope this helps.
