Switching to Tier 2 from Tier 4 study abroad program

Post by SWiltord11 » Thu Aug 01, 2013 12:53 am

Hi,
I am desperate to come back to the UK as I have a workplace willing to sponsor me, but unfortunately my salary was only high enough for new entrant level which I am currently ineligible for.

I have completed most of my degree in Australia. If I were to obtain a Tier 4 Visa on the study abroad program and study for 6 months in the UK, I would then be eligible to graduate my degree back in Australia.

My question is, am I then allowed to switch from this tier 4 visa into tier 2, even though I would technically not be graduating in the UK??
