Who needs an English test?

You need to provide an English language test with your Application if:

  • English is not your first language

    AND
  • You have not successfully completed university qualifications that were fully taught and examined in English

This still applies if:

  • You are currently studying a university qualification taught in English but have not successfully completed it yet: you still need to provide an English language test.
  • Only part of your university qualification was taught and examined in English e.g. if you spent a semester of your studies as an exchange student at an English speaking institution: you still need to provide an English language test.

Some courses may require a wider group of applicants to complete an English language test. If so, they will give details in the Documents screen of your Application. If you are already providing an IELTS test in the Documents screen you do not need to upload this twice.

Which test can I take and what scores do I need?

All course centres accept an IELTS test.

This should be an Academic test taken in the last two years, though some courses may require a more recent test.

The scores you need vary from course to course, ranging from 6.5 to 8.0.

Some courses accept other English language tests e.g. Pearson, TOEFL, Cambridge etc, but some courses may only accept IELTS.

What if I don't have my test results yet?

You must apply by the deadline

Submit your Application by 1.00pm UK time on 20 November 2024.

See the Documents Overview page for details of how to provide test results after you have submitted your Application.
