Which IELTS test to practice
For the National College of Art and Design (NCAD), practice IELTS Academic. NCAD accepts the Academic Version and does not accept One Skill Retake scores. If you have not passed English in the Irish Leaving Certificate, you prove English through your school leaving exam, a matriculation exam or a recognized test. Results must normally be issued within two years before your course starts.
The score to aim for
| Applies to | IELTS overall band | IELTS band in each skill |
|---|---|---|
| Undergraduate applicants | 6.5 average over all components | 6.0 in each band |
| Postgraduate applicants, minimum for graduate taught and research degrees | 6.5 average over all components | 6.0 in each band |
Some graduate courses set a higher requirement. NCAD may also weigh other evidence, such as a degree taught in English in an English-speaking country.
Before you book the real test
NCAD can change these bands and the tests it accepts. Postgraduates should confirm their course’s figure with postgraduate admissions. Check before you book: English Language Requirements, NCAD.
