London, UK – Only weeks after Skills for English tests have been approved for Study Visa in Ireland, this rapidly growing suite of English proficiency exams has now been approved by NCUK for entry into their International Foundation Year programs around the world.
“NCUK are delighted to recognise Skills for English SELT and Global tests for entry to our pathway qualifications. English language proficiency and its application in academic study is key to our offer to international students. The Skills for English tests provide a robust assessment of that proficiency and ensure NCUK students can access and reach their full potential for progression to University studying our qualifications” – said Emma Dawkins, Academic Director at NCUK.
This latest recognition gives Skills for English test takers even greater choice of where to study, and a chance to become one of over 40,000 international students already placed by NCUK onto a wide range of universities. Through NCUK global network of study centres in 31 countries, international students gain guaranteed access to over 60 higher education institutions in 13 countries.
In perfect synergy with the international education ecosystem, Skills for English: SELT is the Secure English Language Test (SELT) that PSI and SQA deliver on behalf of the UK Government for visa applicants through PSI’s network of test centres across 120 countries.
