Creative & Cultural Entrepreneurship MPhil

Non-native speakers of English need to be able to demonstrate the required level of English Language competence to enrol on our programmes. We offer a Pre-sessional English Language course which can help you achieve the relevant language proficiency. Alternatively you can sit and pass an approved English Language test and achieve a required score. Tests that we accept are detailed in the table on the right; we prefer IELTS because it shows us which areas of your English might need to be improved.

If you have a lower score than any of these, but at least 5.0 in IELTS or 520 in TOEFL, you may be offered a place if you attend an approved pre-sessional course in English for Academic Purposes.

Some programmes require a score of 7.0 in IELTS (including 7.0 in the written element) before admission can be considered. This will be stated in individual programme descriptions where relevant.

Please note that IELTS, TOEFL and other English Language proficiency qualifications are not acceptable in place of GCSE English for Initial Teacher Education programmes.

In line with the validity period for IELTS and TOEFL qualifications, English proficiency qualifications must be less than two years old at the time you will commence the course to be valid.
