Tier 4 to Tier 2

Post by anumailrock » Tue Dec 04, 2012 11:19 pm

Hi everyone,
I have completed my Foundation degree in hospitality management in September 2012 and now i am in final year of BA(tons) hospitality management and i have applied for student visa for the final year in university and the course will finish in June 2013. I work for hotel and they are ready to offer me work permit, i would like to know if i can switch from student visa to work permit now, while completing my course or do i need to finish my final year of degree to switch from Tier 4 to Tier 2?
Mant Thanks
