IELTS for study
Over 3.7 million students study abroad every year. Many students study in English-speaking countries, such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK and USA.
Studying in an English-speaking country offers lots of opportunities. It can also allow you to specialise in a particular field or gain employment once you have finished your education.
IELTS is recognised by more than 11,000 education and training providers worldwide. Some universities in non-English speaking countries also require an IELTS score if the course is taught in English.
IELTS Academic
The IELTS Academic test is suitable for those wanting to study in an English-speaking environment or university (higher education). You can also take IELTS Academic for professional registration purposes.
Students can request to send their IELTS results to up to five organisations free of charge. There is a fee for sending results to additional organisations. You can request your centre to send your results as long as your IELTS scores are valid.
IELTS General Training
The IELTS General Training test is suitable for those applying to study below degree level. This includes an English-speaking school or college.
IELTS General Training is also required for migration to Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the UK. The test features everyday English language skills that you will need in social and workplace environments.
