IELTS

What is an IELTS course?

IELTS is the International English Language Testing System. It measures ability to communicate in English across all four language skills (listening, reading, writing and speaking) for people who intend to study or work where English is the language of communication.

Who needs IELTS?

Most universities ask for an IELTS score of 6.0 / 6.5 to enter an undergraduate level degree. Please contact your prospective university to check on the IELTS level needed.

IELTS is also required for some UK visas, see IELTS for UKVI below.
