English not your first language?
In addition to academic qualifications, you must also be able to show that you have a sufficient grasp of English. If English is not your first language you will need to provide evidence of your proficiency before you can begin the course, and you are strongly advised to take the IELTS or the TOEFL test examination. The University's general entry requirements are IELTS 6.5, TOEFL 600 (including the Test of Written English), TOEFL 250 (computer based test) and TOEFL 90-95 (internet based test). Please note, however, that some courses may require a higher test result. You should check at the time of application what standard of English Language proficiency is required for your course of interest.
More information about IELTS (International English Language Testing Service) can be obtained from the local British Council office in your country, or by writing directly to the Examinations Unit, British Council, c/o Enterprises, 10 Spring Gardens, London. SW1A 2BN.
