The below table details our minimum English language proficiency requirements for all course levels. You may not need to provide proof of English language proficiency if you;
- are from a country where English is your first language
- you studied a course in English such as GCSE English
- completed a degree in a UK or majority English speaking country university
An important part of your Student visa application is proving you possess a good standard of English.
