Can ukvi be used as an ordinary IELTS

If students' IELTS scores meet the language requirements of the school's ConditionalOffer and go directly to the UK to study for undergraduate, master and doctoral degrees, then the ordinary IELTS in 53 IELTS test sites in China is recognized.

IELTS for Visa and Immigration (IELTSforUKVI)

The full name of UKVI is UKVisasandImmigration. If students go to Britain to study non-degree courses, such as language courses, undergraduate preparatory courses, freshman diploma courses, master's preparatory courses, etc. They must take UKVI IELTS. When students register for IELTS, please be sure to choose "IELTS Academic Course for British Visa and Immigration".

The differences between the two are as follows:

First, we all know that IELTS scores are required for undergraduate, master and preparatory courses in the UK, but different schools and different stages have different requirements for IELTS scores. If students can meet the school's requirements for IELTS scores, IELTS and UKVI IELTS are generally acceptable. For example, if the master's degree in Birmingham University requires IELTS to be 6.5(6.0) and the students' IELTS scores are reached, then both ordinary IELTS and UKVI IELTS can be used.

2. If students' IELTS scores cannot meet the admission requirements of the school before the admission time, they need to accompany them to the corresponding language classes. In this case, they can only use UKVI's IELTS to apply for a visa. For example, the master's degree in Birmingham University requires IELTS to be 6.5(6.0), so students can't meet the requirements of the school (6.0) in both total score and small score. In this case, students need to go to Britain to study a language course first, so they must use UKVI's IELTS.
