What is the level of my master's degree as per UK NARIC or UK visa norms?
27 Aug 2026 · Answered by Smitha Satish S · 1 min read
Your UK master's degree is considered a Level 7 qualification under UK visa and UK NARIC (now UK ENIC) standards. This includes degrees like MA, MSc, and MEng.
A Level 7 qualification meets the requirements for the UK Graduate visa (post-study work visa), which allows you to stay and work in the UK after graduation. The typical validity is 2 years for applications before 1 January 2027, and 18 months after that (subject to change).
If you need official confirmation of your degree's equivalence, you can request a Statement of Comparability from UK ENIC for a fee (subject to change).
