Which IELTS test to practice
Bachelor’s and master’s students at the University of Leicester must show their English is good enough for their course. If you did not go to school or university in a country Leicester approves as teaching in English, IELTS is one way to show it. Leicester lists IELTS Academic among its accepted tests, so practice it. Academic Reading uses journal and textbook passages, and Writing Task 1 describes a chart or diagram.
The score to aim for
Every degree page lists its own minimum IELTS overall score. Leicester’s minimum in each skill is 5.5, and some degrees ask for more. For example:
| Applies to | IELTS overall band | IELTS band in each skill |
|---|---|---|
| Computer Science BSc | 6.0 | 5.5 |
| Management MSc | 6.5 | 5.5 |
| Law LLB | 6.5 | 6.0 in writing, 5.5 in the other skills |
| Medicine MBChB | 7.5 | 7.0 |
Your test must be less than two years old when your degree starts. Leicester does not ask for a Secure English Language Test (SELT) for degree courses.
