There are a number of different ways you may be able to demonstrate your English language level, for example, by your nationality, with a degree taught in a majority English-speaking country or with an approved English language qualification or test. Which of these you may be able to use will depend on the course you are going to be studying and whether or not you will need to apply for a student visa and can meet the UKVI requirements.
Please read the information below carefully to see if you can meet the English Language requirements for your course.
Please be aware that language needs to be verified from one of the options listed on this web page. We do not accept letters of proficiency.
Acceptable English Language Tests
One way you can meet the English Language requirement is through an acceptable English Language Test. Please click the tab that relates to your area of study for more information on the suitable tests and grades required.
Please note that your test certificate must be within its period of validity – for example, the IELTS, Pearson and Trinity ISE SELTs are only valid for two years after the test date.
