What you need
- IELTS 55.0 overall with 5.0 in writing and a minimum of 4.5 in all other sub-skills.
Where it leads
Progression to Newcastle University undergraduate degree programmes on meeting the specified academic and English-language thresholds at completion (not described as fully automatic/guaranteed on the page retrieved).

UK Student visa; maintenance-fund figures as above.
Things to know
