Do I need IELTS?
Not always. Many partner universities accept other English tests, and a few run their own. Some courses, such as nursing, ask for IELTS. We check yours.
Can I get in if my English is basic?
Most courses set an English requirement, and nobody can promise a place. Some courses accept English around B2 level. If you are not there yet, we tell you honestly and explain your options.
What is the interview like?
It depends on the university: online or on campus, and at some a short written statement. We help you prepare, free.
