UK university requirements may differ based on the university and programme you are applying to. Your academic background, language skills, experience and qualifications may come into play.
If you want to study in the UK and English isn’t your first language, you’ll need to take an English language test. Universities normally specify which test they prefer and the results they need. The most commonly required English tests are IELTS and TOEFL, followed by either PTE Academic and English Advanced. There are IELTs centres and language centres around the globe that students can attend to prepare for these examinations (What level of English do I need to get into a UK university? | Undergraduate | UCAS ).
Many UK universities do not accept TOEFL and instead will require students to take the IELTS exams.To check TOEFL requirements for any university visit here Countries and Schools Accepting TOEFL Scores | The TOEFL® Test (toeflgoanywhere.org) or contact us (hyperlink) to check the language requirements for your university of choice.
UK Universities will assess you based on any of the following:
- Previous grades
- English language proficiency/English language exams (if applicable)
- Other examinations if applicable, such as GMAT for business and BMAT/IMAT for medicine.
- Interviews
- Work experience
- References
Once you are prepared to apply to university, we will either submit your application directly to universities, or will guide you on submitting it through UCAS if required (some undergraduate degrees).

You’ll need to be above 16 years of age to apply for a student visa, individuals below 16 can apply for a child student visa. You can apply for your visa from 6 months before the start of your course if you are applying from outside the UK, and at the earliest 3 months before the start of your course if you are applying from within the UK.
The application process for a student visa typically involves providing ID verification, parental consent (for individuals 16-17 years of age), and may include a visa appointment. It is also important to note that to apply for a UK visa, you must first be accepted onto a University programme. Once accepted, you will be provided with a CAS (confirmation of acceptance for studies) code, which you must enter on your visa application within 6 months of receiving it. Postgraduate students studying medicine or dentistry can apply for a student visa only if they have finished a degree recognised by the UK, spent 1 year of their studies leading to that degree in the UK, or received a degree from a registered student sponsor .
