Which IELTS test to practice
For Durham University, practice IELTS Academic. Durham accepts both UKVI/SELT and non-UKVI Academic IELTS. Your test must be less than 2 years old. Academic Reading uses journal and textbook texts, and Writing Task 1 describes a chart or diagram.
The score to aim for
| Applies to | IELTS overall band | IELTS band in each skill |
|---|---|---|
| Band C, foundation programs | 6.0 | 5.5 |
| Band B, most undergraduate subjects | 6.5 | 6.0 |
| Band A, including undergraduate Law and many postgraduate taught and research arts and humanities courses | 7.0 | 6.5 |
| Band A+, postgraduate taught Law direct entry | 7.0 | Writing 7.0, no other component under 6.5 |
Each band sets an overall score and a floor in every skill. Your department and your level of study decide which band applies.
