The Visas and Nationality services support people who need to evidence the level of their degree and/or their English language proficiency for the UK Home Office.

There are three Visas and Nationality services available:

  • Visas and Nationality (English proficiency)
  • Visas and Nationality (PhD verification)
  • Visas and Nationality (PhD verification with English proficiency).

The Visas and Nationality (English proficiency) service confirms whether a degree was taught in English and meets the recognised standard of Bachelor, Master’s or PhD in the UK. It will also confirm a level of proficiency of English on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) if the qualification was not studied in a majority English-speaking country.

Based on an individual’s specific circumstances, they will receive one or both of the below:

  • The Academic Qualification Level Statement (AQUALS): This confirms the academic level of your degree(s).
  • The English Language Proficiency Statement (ELPS): This confirms the English proficiency level evidenced by your degree(s).

The PhD verification and PhD verification with English proficiency services are designed for people who are applying to the new Skilled Worker immigration route, who want to use their PhD to qualify for tradeable points.

The PhD verification service will provide confirmation of the academic level of an individual’s PhD and a primary source verification check, which verifies that PhD qualification is genuine. The PhD does not need to have been studied in English to apply for this service.

The PhD verification with English proficiency service also includes confirmation of the academic level and a verification of the PhD, as well as information regarding English language proficiency. If an applicant’s PhD was not studied in English but they studied a Bachelor or Master’s degree in English, we can provide English proficiency information for their other degrees.

UKVI case workers can check and verify these statements directly with us.
