As you may be aware, there has been a new immigration system in the UK since 31 March 2009. The new system is called the 'Points Based System' (PBS) and visas are awarded if the necessary number of points are achieved. As all schools and education providers (also known as sponsors) must be accredited, a very high standard of education is guaranteed. If you are a non-EEA (European Economic Area) student, here's some information on what you will need to have in place in order to obtain your study visa for the UK.

EXLUK has provided this English test as a way for English language learners to evaluate their English proficiency. We have based this test on the standard English vocabulary and English grammar that you would find in any English language learning material, so that this proficiency test can measure your command of the English language regardless of your English language learning background. So if you've been learning English, see how well you do!
