English Language Courses for Admissions Purposes

Yes (for postgraduates) satisfactory completion, at the required level, of our online Pre-sessional course is accepted for visa purposes. Assessment will be completed in time for visa applications, in cases where the Pre-sessional is necessary for completion of English language conditions.

For undergraduates, please follow the advice on the student Covid-19 advice page.

Information about meeting language conditions can be found on the dedicated Covid-19 admissions webpage. Alternatively, please contact your department directly. 

Please refer to the Graduate Admissions Handbook (behind SSO)

For any candidates required to pass the course as a condition of their offer, marking and assessment will be completed by Thursday 3 September. The CAS will then be issued the next day which will give students sufficient time to obtain the appropriate visa in their country of residence and to arrive before the start of Freshers' week (without needing to use or pay for the ‘'priority visa service’).
