English Language Requirements
Regent College London welcomes students from the UK and around the world. As your course is taught in English, you must be able to read, write, speak, and understand English at a level that will allow you to participate fully in teaching, learning activities, and assessment.
Who Needs to Provide Proof of English Language Proficiency?
If English is not your first language, you will normally be required to provide evidence of English language proficiency through an approved qualification or assessment.
As a guide, we typically accept English language evidence that is valid and no more than five years old on the course start date. Exemptions apply for different types of assessment, so please contact us directly for guidance.
Exemptions
Majority English-Speaking Countries
Applicants who are nationals of countries defined by the Home Office (UKVI) as majority English-speaking are normally exempt from providing an English language qualification. Please refer to the UKVI list here for the most up-to-date information.
Previous UK Study
If you have successfully completed at least one-year full-time study at higher level in the UK, you may be eligible for an English language exemption.
Medium of Instruction (MoI)
You may be able to meet the English language requirement through a Medium of Instruction (MoI) letter, where your previous degree was taught and assessed entirely in English. MoI letters must be issued on official institutional letterhead and signed by an authorised official. The awarding institution must also be recognised by UK ENIC.
Regent College London English Test (CET)
Regent College London offers its own internal English language assessment, the Click English Test (CET), as an additional way for applicants to evidence their English proficiency.
CET is accepted for most programmes and provides an accessible route to meeting the English language requirement. For some courses, an approved external English language qualification may be required, and this will be confirmed during the admissions process.
Further information
Meeting our English language requirements is important for both Home and International students. For a full overview, including the list of accepted English language qualifications and minimum scores, please refer to our Accepted English Language Qualifications.
