If you transfer from digital to blended learning during your course, you’ll need to take an English test in the left-hand column for your visa to enrol in the UK.
Students applying to the Engineering and Physical Sciences Foundation Certificate at the University of Nottingham will also need to take an English test in the left-hand column, regardless of whether they are starting their course in the UK or remotely.
If you’re applying to an International Year One course and have an English language level equivalent to IELTS 5.5 or higher, you may be able to submit an English test score from the right-hand column, even if you’re starting your course in the UK via blended learning. See here for more details.
Accepted English language tests may differ for some Pre-Sessional English courses. Please check the university websites for Pre-Sessional courses for the University of Essex and the University of York.
