UK universities flexible on English Language tests for Autumn 2020 applications

14 May 2020

Universities in the UK have temporarily updated the English Language Tests policy for the Autumn 2020 intake as many students are facing problems with taking a traditional IELTS test. With many IELTS test centres in the country being closed due to Coronavirus, the universities are now accepting scores of different online English Language tests including:

  • TOEFL “At Home” Test
  • Duolingo English Test
  • IELTS Indicator
  • Pearson Versant English Placement Test

Many UK universities are also accepting CBSE/ISC English scores of Indian students as evidence of English Language abilities. This has made it easier for Indian students to complete their UK university applications without the IELTS Test score. 

Students can learn more about the latest changes to the english language entry requirements at the SI-UK University Fair Online 2020. Our education consultants along with representatives from top UK universities will guide you on the ways in which you can submit your proof of English Language proficiency in the absence of a conventional IELTS test score. 

Register today for a free entry to the SI-UK University Fair Online and speak to our English Language experts before completing your applications.
