English Language Equivalence for Middlesex University admissions

English Language Qualifications are usually only regarded as valid if they have been taken within the last two years Students who are either nationals of or have completed a full degree taught and assessed in English in a University in the UK, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Antigua & Barbuda, Barbados, The Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Ireland, Jamaica, St Kitts & St Nevis, St Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines or Trinidad and Tobago are not normally required to demonstrate English competence for study, unless professionally required (eg PGCE). In addition, those successfully completed an associate degree; higher diploma and full degree taught and assessed in English in an Anglophone University in Hong Kong are also accepted to have met our English Language requirement. For some UG and PG programmes (eg Teacher Training, Nursing, Social Work) formal qualification in English is always required according to professional requirements. Supplementary tests may sometimes be required. Discretion may be exercised where appropriate for mature entrants who have considerable work experience in an English-speaking context but it should be noted that the United Kingdom Border Agency does have specific English Language requirements for those who wish to obtain a student visa QUALIFICATION Normal requirement for UG (apart from certain professional programmes eg Nursing) Grade C 6.0 (with 5.5 in each component) 51 (with 51 in all components) 72 (with at least 17 in listening & writing, 20 in speaking and 18 in reading) Not accepted please take another qualification Level 2 Pass at level 2/3 in English language components LEVEL REQUIRED PG Taught and Research and UG Biomedical Science Grade C 6.5 (with 6.0 in each component) 58 (with 51 in all components) 87 (with at least 21 in listening & writing, 22 in speaking and 23 in reading) Not accepted please take another qualification Level 3 Not accepted UG Nursing inc Vet Nursing/Midwifery, PG Translation, TEFL and some other exceptions.
