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.
| Test | Minimum enrolment score for courses requiring standard level | Minimum enrolment score for courses requiring higher level |
|---|---|---|
| IELTS Academic (Institution code: 0713) | 6.5 overall (6.0 minimum component) | 7.0 overall (6.5 minimum component) |
| TOEFL iBT, including the ‘Home Edition’ (Institution code: 0490) | 92 overall (21 minimum component) | 100 overall (23 minimum component) |
| C1 Advanced | 176 | 185 |
| C2 Proficiency | 176 | 185 |
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.
