All the students who have externally sat the Cambridge University IELTS examination in 2010 have been accepted onto their postgraduate and professional programmes after completing their English courses. LSBF students who sat this examination since April 2010 have attained 6.5 as minimum score needed to progress to a Masters or Bachelors programme, while most achieved a 7.0/7.5 and 8.0.
Who is this course for?
For students who want to focus only on the skills needed to achieve at IELTS. These courses are ideal preparation for Pre-University students who require in-depth training in IELTS preparation in order to get their required score.
