If you have not taken a test by the time you apply, your application can still be considered without it, but any offer will be conditional on the required score. We recommend that you take the IELTS (International English Language Testing System) or LSE Language Centre's 5 or 10 week presessional programmes. If you are taking a Cambridge test rather than the IELTS, we prefer the Advanced or Proficiency tests.All applicants can be considered for a place prior to providing any English language test results. IELTS/TOEFL results are not an essential part of the application form and you do not need to have already taken them to apply. The selectors will not take language test results into consideration when deciding whether or not to recommend an offer of admission.Please note that degrees taken at an overseas campus of an English speaking institution in a non majority English speaking country (eg Chinese campuses of UK institutions) do not meet our English language requirements and you will be required to supply a test score. Similarly, 2+2 undergraduate degrees, where less than three years has been spent in a majority English-speaking country, will not meet our English language requirments.
