English Language Requirements
The scores below are for most programmes at the University of Winchester at foundation, undergraduate and postgraduate level. However, there are some exceptions where courses may request a higher score.
Not all students are required to provide an English Language test as part of their application.

What if I don't have the required IELTS/ English Language scores?
We have pre sessional English courses which can help to increase your English Language ability to the level required to join an undergraduate or postgraduate programme. They start in either June (the 12 week course is designed to increase your score by 1.0) or in August (the 6 week course which is designed to increase your score by 0.5).
In addition to those we have a one year foundation course, and a one year English Language course.
