20 APRIL 2011 : IMPORTANT : NEW ENGLISH LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS FOR TIER 4 (GENERAL) STUDENT VISAS.
The following English Language requirements apply to students whose Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) is dated from 21st April 2011 onwards:
- If you are applying for a Tier4 (General) visa to study a course below degree level (at NQF level 3-5), including English as a foreign language, foundation or pre-sessional courses, you will require a Secure English Language Test at B1 level on the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR).
- If you are applying to study at degree level and above you require a minimum English language level at B2 on the CEFR. If your sponsor is a Higher Education Institution (HEI), the sponsor may choose its own method of assessing your English language ability. However, if your sponsor is another type of institution you will require a Secure English Language Test to prove your B2 language ability. HEI´s are typically universities and other publicly funded further education colleges. Where HEI sponsors consider a student to be gifted, the English language requirement may be waived for that student.
- Please visit the UK Border Agency website for further details and information on English language requirements, exemptions and Secure English Language Test providers.
