English Language Requirements
Students who do not have the required IELTS score (or equivalent) will first be required to undertake an English language assessment interview either face - to - face (in one of our regional offices) or via a webcam interview. If, from this assessment, the student's English is considered to be below that of B1 on the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), then they will be advised to take IELTS and then re-apply to the college at a later date. Those students who demonstrate their level of English is currently B1 or above (but not yet at the required level) will be offered pre-sessional English along with their academic studies.
