English Language Test

When applying for a UK student visa, you must present proof of your command of the English language. This usually entails passing a reliable English language test, such as the IELTS test.

Your skills in writing, reading, speaking and listening in English are evaluated by UKVI and vary by academic level. What’s more, your chosen educational institution’s (sponsor’s) English language requirements may differ.

As part of the visa application process, a UKVI officer may interview you. If you can’t have a simple conversation without the help of an interpreter, you may not be allowed to enter the UK, no matter how good your English results are.
