Study in the UK
You can use LANGUAGECERT Academic or LANGUAGECERT ESOL as part of your UK Student visa application, if you are going to study a course at degree level or above, at a Higher Education Institution (HEI) that is a UKVI 'Licensed Sponsor'.
If you are planning to take a foundation, pathway or other below degree-level course, or you plan to study at an institution that is not a Higher Education Institution (HEI), you may need to take a Secure English Language Test (SELT), in which case you can use LANGUAGECERT Academic SELT to support your visa application.
Please always check with your UK Higher Education Institution (HEI) to confirm their specific English requirements.

Both LANGUAGECERT Academic and LANGUAGECERT Academic SELT have been approved by the Department of Justice in Ireland to evidence language proficiency when applying for student visas.
Entry and proficiency requirements may vary between HEIs and individual departments. It is important to contact your chosen HEI directly for more detailed information on their specific requirements.
