About

degree.help publishes what happens to a qualification after it is awarded: which authority assesses it, what that authority has actually said, and — when the answer is that it falls short — which named programme closes the gap.

What we are not

• Not an accreditation or recognition body. We do not assess qualifications and we cannot issue any statement about yours. Only the named regulator can.
• Not an immigration adviser. We describe published rules and link to the official source. We do not advise on visa applications or recommend a visa route. In Australia, immigration assistance is restricted to registered migration agents; in the UK it is regulated by the IAA.
• Not a recruitment agency. We do not place candidates in jobs.
• Not affiliated with any university, regulator or government body, and not connected to any organisation with a similar name.

How we handle facts

Every factual claim on this site carries three things. If any is missing, the page is not finished:

• a link to the primary source — the regulator, the register, or the provider's own page;
• the version or publication date of that source;
• the date we last checked it.

Where sources conflict, we say so and publish the conflict rather than picking a side. Where a rule is under consultation and not yet settled, we say that too, and we do not describe proposals as though they were in force.

What we will never do

We do not predict outcomes. We will not tell you that an assessment will succeed, that a registration will be granted, or that an application will be accepted. Those decisions belong to the assessing body, and anyone claiming otherwise is guessing with your money.

If you want help with your own case

The chat on this site can walk you through what your qualification needs for the use you have in mind. If you want more than that, leave one way to reach you — an email address, phone number or messaging ID — and we can connect you with a suitable licensed adviser; for visa questions, that means a registered migration agent. We do not promise an outcome, and the assessment itself is always made by the named authority.

Your details

What you type into the chat, and any contact details you choose to give, are kept so we can answer you and, if you ask, put you in touch with an adviser — in which case we pass on your contact details and a summary of your question. Chat replies are generated by an AI model, so your messages are processed by our chat service and by the AI model provider. Please do not put passport or document numbers into the chat. To have your details deleted, say so in the chat.

Corrections

Rules in this field change every few months. If a page is out of date or wrong, that is a defect and we want to know — the correction goes in with the date it was made.
