Elective Programme: What level of English proficiency is required for admission?

If you are taking part in an English-speaking medical course at your home university, it is not necessary to demonstrate English language proficiency.

If you are not a native speaker of English and are studying on a non-English speaking medical course you must have a very high standard of spoken and written English in order to be able to undertake a placement.

We follow the University's guidance regarding accepted tests and the levels required.

Please note that, in addition to providing detail about their level of English language proficiency within their application, applicants may be required to submit a certificate of proficiency as a condition of the offer of a placement.
