English language testing
Ensure that you meet the English language requirements of your course.
Degrees and courses conditional on English language
We conduct online English language tests for applicants who hold offers to one of our degrees which are conditional on English language, so there’s no need to worry if you aren’t sure whether you have the correct English language level or certificate.
You may need to take a test if:
- You have taken a test, but it is now out of date
- You have taken a test over 2 months ago and have scored 0.5 lower than needed in one component (whether in an IELTS test or another alternative English language qualification)
- You have taken an English language qualification that we do not yet recognise. See our English language entry requirements for more information.
- You are applying for one of our online Pre-sessional English courses (please note, in this instance, the fee for the test is included in the course fee)
The test consists of the following components:
- Speaking test (15-minute online video interview, e.g. via Zoom / Skype / Microsoft teams)
- Listening test
- Reading test
- Writing test
Applicants complete the reading and writing tests before the interview, in which speaking and listening are assessed. Online interviews take place at a mutually agreeable time.
To apply for a test, you need to have a student ID number, have a conditional offer subject to meeting the university’s English Language requirements and meet one of the requirements for taking a test listed above. Tests cost £80 and take place throughout the year. Visit our How to pay page for more about paying online.
