Studying in the UK: What are the language requirements for a visa?

It is an indisputable fact that the language requirements for British student visas are constantly improving. If you want to study in Britain, in addition to choosing a major, the first thing to consider is the problem of language expression. So what language requirements do you need for a British student visa?

1. The new student visa policy in Britain stipulates NQF 3-5 courses, such as English language, preparatory courses and basic degrees. , and require students to reach the level of SELT test B 1, which is equivalent to IELTS 4.0, and all items are not less than 4.0;

NQF 6 and above courses require students to have the SELT test B 1 level, that is, IELTS 5.5, and all items are not less than 5.5;

All students studying NQF level 6 or above (undergraduate or above) must have intermediate or advanced English communication level? Upper intermediate level? (B2) Level-IELTS 5.5;

SELT: Safe English Language Test.

2. At the same time, colleges and universities can still choose their own recognized English language proficiency assessment methods to meet the language requirements of degree courses, and can exempt outstanding students from language requirements.

3. The visa officer also stressed that the visa officer or immigration officer has the right to refuse the visa or entry of students who have no English communication skills. That is to say, if students can't express themselves clearly when communicating with the customary visa officer, they may be refused entry, even if all other conditions of the students are qualified and IELTS exceeds the prescribed level. So remind students to practice oral English more and remember to be nervous.
