What language level is required to study English in the UK?
There is no minimum English level required to study at EF's language schools in England. We welcome students of all proficiency levels, from complete beginners to advanced speakers. You'll take the EF SET placement test to join a class at your level. Our innovative EF Method guarantees you'll advance one English level every six weeks or study for free—a perfect way to acquire authentic British English.
For those planning to attend a UK university rather than a language school, different requirements apply, with most institutions requiring IELTS scores of 6.0-7.0 or equivalent, which our exam preparation courses at our historic UK campuses can help you achieve through specialized instruction from British-trained teachers.
Are English courses in England open to all ages?
Yes, EF offers English courses in England for everyone, regardless of age. We welcome juniors learning their first English words, teenagers building confidence, university students preparing for academic success, adults and professionals enhancing their career prospects, and seniors pursuing lifelong learning goals.
In the UK, we provide general and intensive English courses, along with exam preparation programs for tests like IELTS and Cambridge. Each course can also be personalized through our Special Interest Classes (SPINs), where you choose subjects that match your interests and goals—from British literature and history to business English and exam preparation.
Do I need a visa to study English in the UK?
Visa requirements depend on your nationality and the length of your stay. Many short-term students can enter the UK as a visitor, while longer courses may require a Standard Visitor visa or a Short-term Study visa. Our EF Admissions Team will guide you through the visa process and provide all the documents you need.
