English language requirements

Our courses are delivered and assessed in English. The UK Home Office requires prospective students who have not studied and been examined in English to meet their English language requirements for your chosen course.

You will also need to provide evidence that you have met the language requirement through a secure English language test (ELT) with an approved test provider.

This evidence is required before we can issue you with a Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies, or CAS number. Please check the table below to confirm the English language entry requirements that apply to you.

As an alternative, the University of Brighton’s Language Institute can deliver it’s own English language test. The Language Institute also offers a range of academic pathway English courses, including pre-sessional courses aimed at different language levels. If you would like to know more about either English language tuition or the test, please contact us.

Please refer to the UK Home Office website for further details about their requirements.

English language requirements

For undergraduate study you need to have a ‘effective command' of the language in most situations.

You can meet our English language requirements in two ways.

  • By demonstrating your ability to study and be examined in English through your previous academic record.
  • By providing certificated proof of having recently passed one of the English language qualifications listed below.

Find out about English language qualifications that we accept including IELTS, Cambridge, PTE Academic, Trinity and TOEFL iBT. 

Each of our courses has specific entry requirements, find out about the course you are interested in by visiting the course finder.
