Recently, our team was asked a question: “My husband and I are Lithuanian citizens, living in Poland. We want our son to study at Oxford. Do I need to have a Polish university diploma and certificate validated?”
We wanna share the answer from our specialists:
14.07.2025 12:46:28 To have your son study at Oxford, you do not need to have a Polish university diploma and certificate validated unless it is specifically required for his application. Generally, the focus will be on your son's academic qualifications rather than yours. For undergraduate admission to Oxford, your son will need to meet specific academic requirements, which typically include standardized tests like A-levels or their equivalents. If he has completed his education in Poland, he may need to provide evidence of his qualifications according to the UK's UCAS system or equivalent international qualifications that Oxford recognizes. If there are any additional requirements related to residency or citizenship status due to your family's Lithuanian citizenship and residence in Poland, it would be best to consult directly with Oxford's admissions office for guidance tailored to your specific situation. They can provide detailed information on eligibility criteria and any necessary documentation.
19.07.2025 17:45:36 To apply for a UK Student Visa for your son to study at Oxford, you as parents do not need to provide your own diplomas or validated certificates. What matters is your son’s acceptance to an approved course and his ability to meet the visa requirements. Key documents your son will need: Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) from Oxford Proof of funds to cover tuition and living costs Valid passport English language test certificate (e.g. IELTS) if required by the university Parental consent if under 18 Your nationality (Lithuanian) allows visa-free travel, but study still requires a proper Student Visa. Validation of your Polish diploma is not required for your son's application. An immigration lawyer can assist with preparing strong documentation to avoid delays or refusals.
20.07.2025 20:51:36 No, as Lithuanian citizens living in Poland, you do not need to have a Polish university diploma or certificate validated for your son to apply to study at Oxford. The main focus is on your son’s qualifications, not the parents’. For a UK Student Visa, your son will need: An unconditional offer from Oxford (CAS – Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies); Proof of English language proficiency (e.g., IELTS, depending on the program); Proof of sufficient funds to cover tuition and living costs; A valid passport and any required consent letters if under 18. The UK accepts recognized international school certificates (such as IB, A-levels, or national equivalents). Validation is only needed if Oxford or UKVI specifically requests it. Always check directly with the university’s admission office for accepted qualifications.
