EU and Overseas students applying for an MPhil/PhD degree should achieve an IELTS score of 6.0 with at least 5.5 in each competency. For information on this and other accepted English language tests, please visit www.southampton.ac.uk/admissions_language.
If you are made an offer of a place, then please note that we require original documentation of any language score report in order to satisfy a language condition.
If you are unable to meet our language entry requirement then pre-sessional English courses of six or ten week duration may be available in the University’s Centre for Language Study. We would advise you of these courses and the costs associated as appropriate.
