English language requirements

All applicants to Queen Mary must show they meet a minimum academic English language standard for admission and to be successful on the course, to the indicated levels for the area of study. While you may not need to provide an official English language qualification, you need to provide evidence of sufficient English language ability in line with the IELTS requirements for the course to which you are applying. Please check Queen Mary's English language entry requirements for further information on the English language levels required before applying.

English language and study skills

If you have not achieved the required English language level yet, you may be eligible to take a Pre-sessional English course, or continue to take English language tests in your country to reach the level needed.  Find out more on the Language Centre website.
