English Language Requirements
All applicants, are required to show that their English ability is at a suitable level for their IFP course - the level required depends on which IFP course you wish to study. You do not need to have an English Language Test to submit an application - we can still assess you for a place on the programme and if you are successful, we will issue an offer which is conditional on you submitting an acceptable English language qualification ahead of the course starting.
A number of English language tests are accepted; some of the most frequently offered ones are detailed below. Applicants who require a visa to study in the UK, will be required to provide a Secure English Language Test (SELT), due to the visa requirements set by the UK Government. Please note that certain English tests (including IELTS and PTE) must be taken within the two years prior to the start of your IFP course.
If you are unsure about which test you are required to take, have taken a test not on the list, or if you believe that you should be exempt from submitting an English Language test, please contact the team.
Applicants Requiring a Visa
You will be asked to provide evidence of a Secure English Language Test, due to the UK Government visa requirements. The list of approved Secure English Language Tests and test centres that meet the Home Office requirements is available on the UK Government website.
