SCOPE AND PURPOSE
1.1.
This list is for Bournemouth University (BU) staff evaluating the English language proficiency of
international applicants (including EU non-UK and non-EU, referred to hereafter as nonUK/EU).
1.2.
BU benchmarks its English Language requirements against the Common European
Framework of Reference for languages (CEFR) and the International English Language
Testing Service (IELTS).
1.3.
1.4.
Where applicants require a Tier 4 (General) Student Visa, BU’s benchmarks also satisfy the
UK Visa and Immigration’s (UKVI) minimum English language requirement of CEFR B2. The
UKVI’s list of approved assessments is called the ‘Secure English Language Tests’ (SELT).
This list (3H) is to be viewed in conjunction with Policy 3B (Recruitment Selection and
Admissions Policy and Procedure) and is to be used when assessing whether an applicant’s
English level is suitable for admission to BU’s programmes to ensure that consistent offers are
made to non-UK applicants with regards to assessing English language proficiency.
2.

criteria which are set out in Bournemouth University’s Academic Regulations Policies and
Procedures/Admissions Regulations.

3H – Standards of English for International Students and English Language Qualifications
4.2
Entry requirements/Admissions
The standard entry requirements include the satisfactory use of English language. For UK
students these are benchmarked at GCSE Grades A-C in English. Applicants for whom
English is not their first language, must offer evidence of qualifications in four components of
English: Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing. Requirements will be in line/exceed UKVI
requirements and are, for the majority of courses, IELTS (Academic) 6.0 (with a minimum of
5.5 in each of the four component scores) or equivalent. Acceptable Secure English
Language Tests are outlined in this procedure.
4.2.1
2BU benchmarks its English language requirements against the Common European
Framework of Reference for languages (CEFR) and the International English Language
Testing Service (IELTS). Where applicants require a Tier 4 (General) Student Visa, BU’s
benchmarks also satisfy the UKVI’s English language requirement.
4.2.2
The UKVI has produced a list of qualifications also benchmarked against the CEFR, which is
used to assess minimum English entry requirements for those applying for a Tier 4 (General)
Student Visa. All qualifications on the SELT (Secure English Language test) list that assess
academic English skills are included in the 3H list.
4.2.3
Changes in SELT will be updated regularly on 3H. The SELT list is available on the UKVI
website:
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/481783/201512-02_-_Approved_Secure_English_Language_Tests_and_Test_Centres_-_Website.pdf
4.2.4
BU also accepts a range of other English language qualifications. A table listing the full range
of BU’s English language requirements up to IELTS level 7.0 (the highest level required by
any BU programme at the time of publishing) is included in Appendix A.
Note: Where an English language qualification as per Appendix C does not have a specific
expiry date, is older than two years and the administrator has well founded doubt about the
applicant’s potential to succeed on his/her BU degree course, further assessment measures
should be taken and the applicant could be asked to provide further evidence of his/her
English language skills. Such cases shall be referred to the International Admissions
Manager.
