English Language Requirements
At Regent College London, we welcome students from all over the world, many of whom speak English as a second language. Ensuring you meet the required English language proficiency is an essential part of your academic journey.
Who Needs to Provide Proof of English Language Proficiency?
If English is not your first language, you will have to demonstrate your proficiency through an English Language Qualification or assessment. We typically accept qualifications that are no more than two years old at the time of your course start date. Older qualifications may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Visa national students applying to a Level 3 course are required to complete a Secure English Language Test (SELT).
Exemptions
- Majority English-Speaking Countries
Nationals from countries defined by the Home Office (UKVI) as “Majority English-Speaking Countries” are typically exempt from providing an English Language Qualification. You can refer to the UKVI list here of these countries for more details.
- Previous UK Study
If you are applying directly to a Level 5 course and have completed at least one year of a degree-level programme in the UK, you may also be exempt from providing a recent English Language Qualification.
