Competence in English

If your first language is not English then you should take a language proficiency test to show you have the necessary command of the language to get the most out of your course. You do not need to take the test before you apply, but, if you are made an offer and you have not already sent us a copy of your results, one of the conditions of admission will be that you pass an IELTS test at the correct level.

* If we make you an offer of admission and that offer includes an English Language condition, we will expect you to take an IELTS test. Details can be obtained from local British Council Offices. Minimum requirement: an overall band score of 7.0 with not less than 7.0 in speaking, listening and writing, and 6.5 in reading.
* Where the IELTS test is not available you may take the Princeton TOEFL test. If you do this, you must take the Test of Written English at the same time.
* Minimum requirement: 600 in the paper-based TOEFL test with 5.0 in the Test of Written English or 250 in the computer-based TOEFL test with 5.0 in the Essay Writing Test; the minimum score must be achieved in both parts of the test in the same sitting.
* A TOEFL score without the Test of Written English is not acceptable.
* You must achieve the minimum requirements no more than two years before the start of your course. The University's institution code is 0908.
* Some courses stipulate a higher level of English language competence:
o Economics: all courses: IELTS minimum 7.0 in all elements
o English: MPhil in English and Applied Linguistics only: IELTS 7.5 overall; TOEFL minimum 620 or 260 in the computer-based test, plus 5.0 TWE
o Law: all courses: TOEFL minimum 630 or 267 in computer-based test, plus 5.0 TWE; IELST minimum overall score 7.0 with 6.5 in reading and 7.0 in each other element
o Modern and Medieval Languages: all MPhils: IELTS minimum overall score 7.5

English Language requirements are also stated in the course information. If higher English Language Proficiency Test scores are required, this will be specified in your letter of conditional offer. Test results can be enclosed with paper applications or sent on later to meet one of the terms of any conditional offer. Do not delay sending in your application in order to include test results.
