4. Knowledge of English

You may need to prove your knowledge of the English language when you apply.

You can prove your knowledge of English by passing a test at an approved test centre. You need to get at least CEFR level A1.

Check the current list of approved tests and test centres. This list changed on 6 April 2015 - tests on previous lists won’t be accepted.

Alternatively, you can give evidence that you have an academic qualification that both:

  • was taught or researched in English
  • is recognised by UK NARIC as equivalent to a bachelor’s or master’s degree or PhD

Exemptions

You won’t need to prove your knowledge of English if:

  • you’re age 65 or over
  • you’re unable to because of a long-term physical or mental condition
