    English Program Requirements

    All students need to show proof of their English language ability to enrol at UAL. Most students from outside the UK need to submit an English language test as proof of their language ability.

    If you need help to reach the required language level, UAL's Language Centre offers a range of English courses and a Presessional course for students with a conditional or unconditional offer. Current students at UAL, progressing to the next level of university study (e.g. from Foundation to BA) can take UAL's Progress Test to achieve the IELTS score required for the next level.

    To find out if you are exempt from English language testing, please read exemptions from language testing at the bottom of this page.

    English language tests

    Your English language requirement is generally expressed as an IELTS score but UAL accepts several other English language tests in addition to IELTS.

    Where we state 'IELTS Academic for UKVI', you must provide a certificate for this test. IELTS Academic (not for UKVI) cannot be used to support a student visa application for these levels of study. The University does not accept IELTS General or IELTS General for UKVI for any level of course.

    Please note that you must achieve the required language scores - overall and all 4 skills (unless the test provider exempts you from sitting a skill on the basis of disability) - from a single sitting of a test examination. We cannot accept a combination of 'best' scores from multiple test results.

    Please note that if you take a Cambridge IGCSE exam, you must provide 2 documents:

    • The Certificate
    • The Certifying Statement for CEFR. You will need to request this and pay the fee.

    Minimum IELTS scores

    Our IELTS requirements vary depending on the course and level of study. The requirement for each course is shown on the individual course pages.

    Jump to minimum scores for:

    • Courses that require IELTS 5.0
    • Courses that require IELTS 5.5
    • Courses that require IELTS 6.0
    • Courses that require IELTS 6.5
    • Courses that require IELTS 7.0
    • Courses that require IELTS 7.5

    Career

    All of our undergraduate courses are concerned with the development of your personal and professional skills. On your course you will evolve from learning basic skills in your discipline through to a position where you are an independent creative thinker capable of making an effective contribution to the relevant sector of the fashion industry. Personal and Professional Development (PPD) skills are embedded in all units on every course. Speaker programmes with contributions from alumni, members of industry and others are a part of many courses, as are work placement opportunities in industry.

    Graduates who wish to continue their education at postgraduate level are encouraged to progress to suitable courses within the College, the University or elsewhere.

    Career paths

    Recent graduates are working in a variety of roles in areas such as Sustainability, PR, Marketing, Buying and Merchandising, as well as digital engagement. They have secured roles with companies such as Burberry, FarFetch, Harvey Nichols, Zalando, Matches Fashion, Christian Dior, Harrods and Tom Dixon. We have many students who have gone on to secure success with their own brands and labels, the most recent being Rixo, who were celebrated in Drapers ’30 under 30’ awards.
