English language certificate |
If English is not your native language and you are not studying at a US institution you will need an English language certificate to study with us. IELTS scores (or another English language certificate) are not required if the student is currently studying at a US institution as they have already been evaluated on their level of English proficiency by the home institution. IELTS requirement for undergraduate study: 6.0 overall with 6.0 in writing and no element lower than 5.5 IELTS requirement for postgraduate study: 6.5 overall with 6.5 in writing and no element lower than 6.0 If you don't reach these requirements we offer pre-sessional English programmes to help you improve your English language skills. Find out more about our Pre-sessional courses. We accept a wide range of English Language certificates as well as IELTS. For a full list of acceptable alternative English Language qualifications please visit our Alternative English Requirements Page page. |
We don’t require an academic reference at the point of application. We may contact you directly to request an academic reference if we have any questions about your academic standing.
