English language requirements for students who require visa sponsorship

Your English competency can be demonstrated by obtaining and evidencing any of the below qualifications:

Each of the tests marked with an * in the table above must have been undertaken within the two years prior to the start date of study. If any of the other qualifications listed above were obtained more than two years prior to the start date of study then the applicant will be required to provide additional supporting evidence – in the form of an employment/academic reference or other evidence of academic ability in the medium of English, supporting the applicant’s continued language development.

Visa applicants' English language skills will be further assessed by face-to-face interview as part of the application process for your course. Other evidence of English language proficiency may be considered in support of your application. Email Stephen Giles, English Language Support Manager, to discuss.

In addition to English language, all applicants will need to meet course-specific entry requirements relating to subjects, grades and/or work experience.
