What kind of IELTS do I need to take to study in the UK?

If you plan to study in Britain, you usually need to provide IELTS scores as proof of English language ability.

IELTS is a widely recognized English language proficiency test in Britain, Australia, Canada and New Zealand. To study in the UK, you need to choose the IELTS test category corresponding to the school and course you are applying for.

Generally speaking, studying in the UK requires taking the "General IELTS Test", which is a standardized test for all non-native English speakers and aims to test your listening, reading, writing and speaking skills. If you plan to apply for courses related to English language teaching, you may need to take the IELTS test for English language teaching, which is specially designed for students whose mother tongue is not English but who want to further their studies in English language teaching.

When choosing which IELTS test to take, you need to read carefully the specific requirements of English language ability of the school and course you are applying for to ensure that the test category you choose is consistent with your application requirements.
