Language Requirements
Non-native
English speaking students
Students must
understand, speak, read and write English well in order to achieve good results
in their studies. If you have any doubt about your English you should discuss
the matter with your adviser in your home university and if necessary arrange to
take an English test.
The International English Language testing System
(IELTS)
is administered by the British Council, from which information can be obtained.
Their address is 10 Spring Gardens, London SW1A 2BN. The University normally
requires a score of 7.0 or above. The University
will also accept TOEFL scores of over 250 (computer based)
or 600 (paper based). The School of
Linguistics and Language Studies (SLAS) at Reading can help students
who wish to improve their command of English. It provides a language laboratory
where you may work on your own and various kinds of support, some of which you
would be required to pay for. However, SLAS does not offer instruction in
English as a foreign Language as part of the normal University curriculum during
the academic year.
