  1. Applies only to awards from institutions listed below or issued by the Council for National Academic Awards (as shown on the bottom-right of the qualification document).
  2. 2 calendar years are comparable to 3 academic years. Check that the program is equivalent before using this guideline for 2-year Bachelor Degrees.
  3. Not all Master Degrees are awarded after postgraduate study. Some universities offer ‘enhanced first degrees’ or ‘integrated Master Degrees’. Oxford University offers several unusually-named awards with the status of Master Degrees. If you are not sure how to assess these, refer them to us for a case-by-case assessment.
