You can only submit an application claiming MBA provision points once you have completed your studies. You can apply for the MBA provision before you have received your graduation certificate, as long as you are able to provide evidence that you have in fact completed the course successfully.
You cannot apply for the MBA provision if you graduated prior to 2 December 2004. This is when the set of top 50 business schools used by the UK Border Agency was first determined. However, you may qualify for HSMP based on your age points and earnings points.
If you have graduated from an MBA programme but the institution is not on the list of eligible schools at the time of graduation you will not be entitled to apply under the MBA provision. However, you may qualify under the regular HSMP.
The MBA Provision is only applicable to individuals who already have an MBA. Applicants who have completed another qualification at an eligible school are not entitled to apply for the MBA provision, however, you may qualify under the regular HSMP.
