The University’s normal entry criteria apply to all international students.  For details of country-specific entry requirements please visit your home country page on our website. 

English language requirements for any degree

The University has formal requirements for all applicants.  These are normally English Language qualifications which we recognise as meeting our entry criteria.  Requirements may vary between programmes, and you are advised to check these carefully when going through course listings. 

The following table sets out the main qualifications we recognise and the levels that are normally required for admission.  It is intended as general guidance only -  the offer of a place, if it includes an English Language condition, will specify the level of English that you are required to meet. 

The University of Huddersfield is pleased to accept a Pass in all four elements at the Proficiency Level of the Ascentis Anglia ESOL Language qualification as meeting the University’s English Language requirements for students from the EU.

If you don’t yet meet these requirements, don’t worry as we also have extensive Pre-Sessional English programmes on campus.

 We will also consider applicants with the following qualifications:

 English Language - waivers

In exceptional circumstances the University may agree to waive the standard English Language requirements.  This will normally only be appropriate when the applicant has undergone an extensive face-to-face interview with an admissions tutor, or has undertaken a diagnostic test set by the University.  If you are applying through a recognised partner institution there may be special arrangements which mean you don’t have to take one of the tests listed above.  

Applicants from any of the following Majority English Speaking Countries (MESCs) will normally be considered to have met our English requirements:

• Antigua and Barbuda
• Australia                      
• The Bahamas
• Barbados                          
• Belize                         
•  Canada
• Dominica                           
• Grenada

• New Zealand               
• St. Kitts and Nevis
• St. Lucia

Please note that we will not normally waive the English Language requirement for speakers of other languages who have completed a programme of study taught in English in their home countries.

Oluwatodimu Samuel Dahunsi
President, Nigerian Student Society

 “The Nigerian Student Society (NSS) seeks to build the spirit of oneness and to integrate all Nigerian students here at the University. This we do by promoting the Nigerian culture, our positive and good values and what we stand for as Nigerians. We believe that our coming together will enhance good relationship with our host community and other societies within the Student Union.  

“Our objectives includes the following; Organise fun-filled educational and social activities, see to the Welfare of members, assist incoming Nigeria students to settle into the University community and the UK society,  build strong network with past students, encourage friendship with people and students from other parts of the world, publicise and promote the University in and outside Nigeria.

“In the coming session, we hope to make a trip to Spain as part of our ‘Maximising your international experience’ project. The society also in a grand style celebrated Nigeria Independence Day alongside her formal inauguration event in 2011.

“The NSS is not only for Nigerians and therefore we welcome everyone from around the world who is interested in getting to know more about our beautiful culture, languages and meals.  We do hope that you will find it useful and interesting to be part of this great, viable and thriving society and so look forward to welcoming you in our meetings and events."
