The MBA provision has been set out for those who have completed their MBA from a school in the MBA provision list. This automatically qualifies the applicant and does not require them to fulfill the other HSMP criteria.

Conditions

• You will need to have graduated from an eligible business school while it is on the list of eligible schools.
• You will still need to meet the remaining requirements of the HSMP programme, such as:
  • • You will be able to continue your chosen career in the UK.
    • You should know what field you intend to work in in the UK
    • You will also have to show that you intend to make the UK your main home, and that you can support yourself and any dependants without public funds.
    • Proficiency in English

Which 50 business schools will it apply to?

The Treasury published the list of the 50 eligible programmes with the pre-Budget report on 2 December 2004. The Treasury will review and re-publish this list annually.

The 50 eligible MBA programmes are determined by applying criteria which best reflect the potential economic productive contribution of graduates:

• Post-graduation Salaries, as the most effective measure of productivity
• Employment, essential if productive potential is to be realised.

Please note: The MBA Provision is longer applicable to the new Tier 1 (general) highly skilled sub-category

The list of institutions contains 10 UK institutions and 40 from the rest of the world. The inclusion of a quota of 10 UK institutions reflects the fact that students choosing to study in the UK have already shown a commitment to this country and have begun to integrate in the UK, making it easier for them to continue their career here.
