    of equivalent standard) or a Master’s degree (either a UK Master’s or an
    overseas qualification of equivalent standard).

    you have not yet completed the relevant qualification then you are

    undergraduate study is a First, but we will consider candidates with a
    good Upper Second.

    experience.

    work experience (minimum 18 months), and be able to satisfy Home Office
