English language requirements
If English is not your first language, you will need to provide evidence that you can read, write, speak and understand English to a satisfactory level.
English language requirements, for the majority of our undergraduate courses are normally a minimum of one of the below:
- Successful completion of one of Bournemouth University's Preparatory English Programmes
- IELTS (Academic) 6.0
- TOEFL (internet-based) 80
- TOEFL (paper-based) 550
For some courses where communication is especially important, the grades required may be higher. You can find the specific English language requirement for each course in the Course Search.
If you have alternative evidence of English language proficiency (e.g. you have a different English language qualification, you received the majority of your education through the medium of English, or you have a degree in English language/literature), please indicate this on your application form.
