To join a study block on the PSE programme, you need to have an IELTS score of at least 4.0 in listening, reading, writing and speaking. Some study blocks have higher entry requirements.
If you require a visa, you will need to provide proof of your language level with a Secure English Language Test (SELT) certificate – the most well-known test is IELTS.
