Can I still satisfy the English language condition if my test scores are below the minimum requirements?

If you have obtained a language test result within the past two years which is no more than 0.5 IELTS points lower than the minimum overall score, and no more than 1 IELTS point lower than the minimum overall score in any of the four components (reading, writing, speaking, listening) as per the Standard or Higher level, the online pre-sessional English course could be used to meet your English language condition. This six-week intensive programme, which is offered by the Oxford Language Centre, will develop in international students the necessary level of academic English literacy to function effectively in an English-speaking university environment. 

The minimum scores required to enrol on the pre-sessional English Course are shown in the table below.

Successful completion of the course will enable you to meet your English language condition. The assessment will be completed in time for international students who need to submit a visa application.
