These requirements are for our International Foundation Programmes only.
If you have the equivalent of IELTS 5.5 overall with no sub-score below 5.5, you will be able to apply for a joint CAS for the whole of your foundation and undergraduate study at the University of South Wales. This means you will only need to apply for your Student route visa once for your entire UK study, with no additional English language testing requirements.
If your course isn’t shown here or you would like to discuss what level you are eligible to join, please register your interest and one of our team will contact you.
