    They must pass the Life in the UK test and take an approved B1 level Secure English Language Test (SELT), as only degrees from UK universities are accepted for citizenship applications.
  4. D
    They are exempt from both the Life in the UK test and the language requirement because they are over 6060 years of age and hold a higher education qualification.

Cevap

The applicant must pass the Life in the UK test and provide a verification statement from Ecctis confirming their Swiss degree meets the language and academic standards.
The correct answer is correct because the applicant is 61 (not yet 65, so not age-exempt) and their degree is from a country (Switzerland) that is not on the Home Office's list of majority English-speaking countries. Consequently, they must pass the Life in the UK test and provide an Ecctis statement to verify their degree's English-medium status.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Check the applicant's age for potential exemptions from the requirements.
The applicant is 6161 years old, which is below the threshold for age-based exemption.
Exemptions for the Life in the UK test and English language requirement only apply to those under 18 or aged 65 and over.
2
Identify the status of the Life in the UK test requirement.
The applicant must take and pass the Life in the UK test.
Since no age or medical exemptions apply, passing the test is a mandatory part of the application.
3
Evaluate the evidence provided for the English language requirement.
The degree is from Switzerland, which is not on the Home Office's list of majority English-speaking countries.
Degrees from countries outside the UK and not on the majority English-speaking list are not automatically accepted as proof of language proficiency.
4
Determine the necessary step for the Swiss degree to be accepted.
The applicant must obtain a statement from Ecctis (formerly UK NARIC).
Ecctis must confirm that the qualification is equivalent to a UK degree and that it was taught in English to the required level (B1 or higher).
