Information for international students
If English is not your native or first language, you must evidence your ability to write Masters-Level academic assignments, regardless of your country of residence. This can be done by providing an IELTS certificate (Overall 7.0, with minimum 7 in reading and writing). Even if you are working clinically in the UK, you must ensure that your personal statement demonstrates your ability to produce a cogent, accurately-written explanation of your reasons for applying. This means cutting out all general comments regarding clinical qualifications and work, and focussing on your teaching and learning experience, involvement and responsibilities, or your goals in this respect.
