Has anyone heard if there are any possible changes being made to the requirements or the visa in general for this year? I am afraid something will change from here until september and i wouldn't be able to apply.
Thanks
No news, but the idea is any change will be "making rule for PSW more stronger".
with the trend in the HO changes, it is always on area holes are identified, they will put some patches to correct it.
But my prediction is they might be removing all topup masters degree or even the full masters just like other professional bodies do not consider masters degree as they consider undergraduate degree. unless you can show it as a continuation of your undergraduate degree.
I have personally identify the hole, that people study more on masters than first degree for reasons of cost and time.
Masters is 1 year and this means 1 year tuition as Intl. Student from £8,000 or less if through college,
But Undergraduate Degree is 3 years and cost £8,000 x 3.
You see?, You save £8,000 x 2 and 2 years of your time here as a Student.
This is prediction and only here for record, do not rely on this, but pray that the Chameleon will not show its usual
