All incoming exchange students must have sufficient English language skills to be successful in their programme of study. We require exchange students to submit an English proficiency letter from their home university (level B2) if they are studying in the UK for less than 6 months. However, if they are staying longer, we would need them to supply us with an English language certificate. Please find more information about the English requirements here. Proof of English proficiency may be requested as an additional document when you submit your online application. It may also be required later during final enrolment by the Admissions team, so please make sure you keep hold of it throughout the entire process.
