You will need to show that your English is at a high enough level to succeed on your chosen course which will normally be through your academic qualifications. However, we may ask for additional evidence in some circumstances, for example if your qualifications were taken elsewhere in another language.
Equivalent academic qualifications can be accepted and we are happy to consider applicants on a case by case basis. Please contact our admissions team if you wish to discuss your specific qualifications.
