The U.K. Home Office now uses a points-based system for issuing a Student route visa. International students need to meet the requirement of 70 points, and the English-language requirement counts for 10 of the 70 points.

The TOEFL iBT test is accepted for the English-language requirement of Student route visas under certain conditions. Universities are permitted by the Home Office to choose how to assess applicants' English-language abilities. Under this provision, a university may issue a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) for students with scores from an English test that is not formally recognized by the U.K. Home Office as a Secure English Language Test (SELT), including the TOEFL iBT test. 

To use your TOEFL iBT scores in this way, the following conditions need to be met:

  • Your chosen U.K. university accepts the TOEFL iBT test for admissions purposes. Check the university website, or contact the admissions department directly, to confirm that they accept TOEFL iBT scores for applications to study at degree level or above.
  • You meet the TOEFL iBT score requirements for university entry and your course of study. Be sure to check the university website for TOEFL iBT score requirements as you may find each university has different requirements depending on the course you want to apply for.
  • You meet the TOEFL iBT score requirements set by the Home Office for immigration. These scores are:

For University Degree Level Courses – B2 level

  1. Total: 72
  2. Reading: 18
  3. Listening: 17
  4. Writing: 17
  5. Speaking: 20

Proof of English proficiency is required for a student visa application. In addition, the TOEFL iBT® test is recognized as a credible English-language assessment criterion for Student route visas under certain conditions.
