I've done a 1-year post-grad programme at Birkbeck University of London, which isn't quite the same as a Bachelor/Master's/PhD. Would that be sufficient as the proof of English language? No, it won't meet the requirement. You need a UK degree, or a foreign degree with naric comparable and English a...
