UK reveals two alternatives to the English proficiency test for foreigners applying for citizenship. Degree From a UK InstitutionThe first route applies to applicants whose degree was both taught or researched in English and awarded by a UK institution. Importantly, this applies even if the applicant physically studied outside the UK, as long as the awarding body is a recognised UK institution. Degree From an Institution Outside the UKThe second route covers applicants whose degree was taught in English but awarded by an institution outside the UK. In a related story, Legit.ng reported that the UK had listed 19 nationalities exempted from the English test for citizenship applications.
