It is essential that all MBA students have an excellent command of English as we welcome students from around 100 different nations every year to study with us here at Bayes.  If English is not your first language, you will need to sit an IELTS, PTE, LanguageCert or TOEFL exam (IELTS preferred). If you require a Student visa, please see the specific requirements below.

IELTS Academic and SELT (UKVI)

We require a minimum, well balanced score of 7.0 in IELTS Academic, with no less than 6.5 in each individual section. We also accept the IELTS Indicator test with the same minimum scores. Please note that we accept IELTS Academic tests taken at test centres that are not included on UKVI's SELT list.

Pearson Test of English (PTE) Academic

We require an overall score of 69 with a minimum of 62 in Writing and no less than 60 in any other section, in-person or online. We do not accept PTE General.

LanguageCert International ESOL C1 Expert

We require a Pass in both the Written (Listening, Reading, Writing) and Spoken (Speaking) exams, in-person or online.

TOEFL iBT and TOEFL at home

We require a minimum, well-balanced overall score of 100 with a minimum of 25 in Writing and Speaking, 24 in Reading and 22 in Listening in the TOEFL iBT test (in-person or online). Scores must be achieved within a single test, not MyBest scores. We do not accept the TOEFL Essentials or TOEFL ITP Plus for China tests. You will need to make your TOEFL score available to us using code 0870.

If you require a Student visa, the UK Home Office requirements mean that you will need to achieve our minimum score in one of the above tests, unless you are a national of a majority English-speaking country or you have successfully completed an academic qualification, at least equivalent to a UK bachelor's degree, which was taught in a majority English-speaking country.  The list of majority English-speaking countries can be found here.  Please note that the minimum English language test scores for our MBA programmes are higher than the minimum Home Office requirements. If you have been educated in English, but not in a majority English-speaking country, we regret that we are unable to waive the English language test requirement, as this is outside our control.

All English language tests scores must be no longer than two years old at the point we generate your CAS for your Student visa (normally in June).
