What are the language requirements for PGCE 14+ courses?

If English isn't your first language you'll also need IELTS 6.5 with no less than 6.0 in any band (or equivalent qualification). For guidance by your region please see our International Entry Requirements page or our alternative language tests during COVID-19 (where applicable).

Please note that Education and Teacher Training courses currently have visa restrictions and applications can not be accepted if you require a tier-4/Student Route visa.

If you have any enquiries relating to this you can contact the International Team to discuss at international@bolton.ac.uk.

You can also chat with our staff directly every Wednesday from 2 pm - 4 pm and periodically throughout the working week.

Alternatively, chat with our current students who will be able to share this information with you and any other course-related queries.

Or book onto one of our Open Days or Course Advice Days to find out more and speak with the team.

At the University of Bolton, we understand our students have different requirements and we pride ourselves on the positive and supportive learning environment we provide. Being voted No. 1 for Student Satisfaction for the past three years (Complete University Guide, North West) is a testament to our approach.

We are proud of our work on-campus to ensure our students can enjoy #UniAsItShouldBe, COVID-secure.
