Cambridge English exams are accepted for UK University Degree courses

Cambridge English: Advanced and Proficiency can be used to apply to universities for degree courses (or higher), where these exams are accepted. It is important that you and your preparation centres continue to recommend these exams for study at UK universities.

Candidates from outside the EU who need to apply for a Tier 4 visa to study at degree level and above at a Tier 4 Sponsor university, are only required to present the proof of English language level that the university requires; UKVI does not require them to have taken a test from the UKVI list of Secure English Language Tests (SELT).

For courses below degree level, universities need to accept an approved SELT from international applicants. IELTS is included on UKVI’s SELT list. For UK visa and immigration purposes, IELTS will need to be taken under SELT conditions at approved centres.
