 |
|
Hi,
I will be completing a BA degree with the Open University this year and it will be awarded as an unclassified or ordinary degree - will this be ok to obtain a working visa or do I need an honours degree?
Many thanks,
Debbie  |

| Nobody ever EVER needs any honors degree to qualify for a work visa here. |

An ordinary BA is fine. I have a plain 3-year BA from a NZ university, majoring in Spanish, and that was perfectly sufficient for me to get a working visa.
The only issue people can have with degrees is whether it is from an accredited institution. I take it the Open University does distance learning? Check that it is accredited in your home country if you're not sure. |
