Pre Sessional English
UKVI have been lobbied by the HE Sector in general to relax the rules around the requirement for Secure English Language Tests but there has still not been any movement on this. This means as things stand we still need a UKVI IELTS (or another approved SELT) to sponsor a Tier 4 student on a Pre-sessional English course (unless they already meet the main course ELR for a Joint CAS).
However, while all our Pre Sessional English teaching remains online, your students are free to accept whatever you choose - this only applies to Tier 4 sponsorship. Likewise, if teaching can resume on campus, students could come with a Short-term Study Visa if they don't have the SELT.
If it is agreed academically that students have suitable English proficiency if they took IELTS/PTE 3 years ago, we could accept this for degree courses where UKVI allow us to make our own assessment - but again this would not apply for the SELT requirement on Pre-sessional English.
Brunel does consider Duolingo English, but we are using Atlas English test and can set more dates with this. Further details, please check with China office atchina@brunel.ac.uk
