English language

If English isn’t your first language, you will need to prove your language level with a qualification like the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). 

You can still apply to a course with a different qualification. However, if you don't qualify for a testing exemption, you will need to have a valid English language qualification for both UAL and UKVI purposes. For more information
