English Language Requirements (UK degree)

Post by LadyRenoir » Sat Jul 01, 2017 4:33 pm

This may be a very silly question, but I just received a pretty confusing email from Home Office, so wanted to confirm that I will be sending off the right documents with my application.

I am a EEU citizen. I completed a three year BA degree at a University in Scotland, in English Literature and German, as well as a postgraduate teaching degree and I am a qualified teacher of German in a UK school. I asked Home Office if this is enough proof of language skills, and the reply I received was:
"We appreciate that there are many qualifications available in the UK which directly or indirectly test English language ability but it would not be practical to accept every qualification offered for immigration purposes."

Is this right, or have they not read my initial email explaining my qualifications and sent a standard reply? Will my degree be enough, or do I need some sort of certification that it was taught in English, or will I need to waste money on a IELTS test?

A UK Degree is sufficient.

A diploma for example is not.
