Language Requirements (EN)

For all programs that are taught in English and all MBA programs, evidence of English language ability is required. If you do not have a valid English language qualification that meets the LONDON BES requirements presented in the table below, your level will be assessed by examination at LONDON BES.

Based on this assessment, one of the following will apply:

You will be exempt from the English Language Support Program and begin your postgraduate study directly;

You will study English courses together with graduate program courses;

You will study intensive English courses first (with no graduate program courses) before you start your graduate program.

The table below shows the English Language Tests recognized by LONDON BES and the minimum scores required for exemption from English language courses. However, some graduate programs such as the Department of English Language Teaching (ELT) apply a higher scale regarding English language exemption. Prospective students are advised to contact the relevant academic department for further additional rules and regulations
