English language requirements
Study Abroad students must meet King's Band B English Language Requirements. Further information on English Language Requirements, including IELTS, TOEFL, Pearson Test of English, and Cambridge Advanced Certificate criteria can be found in the relevant column on King's main English language requirements webpages (under Band B):
Semester students who have not taken IELTS, TOEFL, Pearson etc can submit an English proficiency letter, using a template that will be provided by Admissions after submitting an application. Partner universities can contact studyabroad@kcl.ac.uk for a copy of the template.
Applicants currently studying at a US university are exempt from providing proof of English Language proficiency.
For further information about the pre-sessional English language course please visit King's Foundations' webpages.
You can apply before you have completed/received the result of an English Language test, but any offer will be conditional until proof of meeting the English level requirement is provided. No CAS or Visa sponsorship can be issued until a student holds an unconditional offer.
