We recommend that the Tier 1 General route is retained and in terms of calibration of points we recommend that:
• appropriate professional qualifications held in addition to an undergraduate degree are recognised as equivalent to a master’s degree for the purposes of the PBS and that claims that some undergraduate degrees are equivalent to a master’s degree are also given consideration on a case-by-case basis; and
• individuals with an undergraduate degree are allowed to enter under Tier 1, subject to an appropriate earnings threshold.
In addition, in relation to the current selection criteria, we make the following recommendations:
• For age: those aged 29 and under are awarded 20 points; those aged 30 to 34, 10 points; those aged 35 to 39, 5 points; and no points are awarded to those aged 40 and over.
• For qualifications: 30 points awarded for a bachelor’s degree is reinstated; 35 points continue to be awarded for a master’s degree; and points for a PhD are reduced to 45.
• For previous earnings: points are not awarded for earnings less than £25,000; and earnings bands are set as in Table 6.7.
• The 5 additional points continue to be awarded as at present for UK experience.
