Advanced notice of changes to segs

Those who have completed a bachelor’s degree in any subject on or after 1 May 2007 will be eligible. We are also removing the requirement for a minimum 2:2 classification for bachelor’s degrees. Further, we are extending the scheme to those with postgraduate certificates and diplomas.

Those who have completed qualifications on the old SEGS lists before 1 May 2007, but who have not yet applied under the scheme, will be able to apply under the International Graduate Scheme, but their application will be considered under the same criteria as they would have had to meet under SEGS.

We are also making a change to the Fresh Talent: Working in Scotland Scheme, widening the eligibility criteria to include those who have completed a postgraduate certificate or diploma at a recognised or listed Scottish institution of higher education.
