Most UK universities require non-native English speakers to prove their proficiency through standardized tests like IELTS, TOEFL, or PTE Academic. The specific test and score needed depend on the institution and course level.
Undergraduate and postgraduate programs typically demand an IELTS score of 6.0–7.5 or equivalent. Some universities waive this requirement if you’ve previously studied in English or are from a majority-English-speaking country. Always check the university’s official website for exact requirements, as exceptions may apply.
