	DISTANCE LEARNING


	Entry requirements

Entry requirements for distance learning courses vary from institution to institution. Some organisations – such as the Open University – have no academic requirements but many masters’ programmes expect you to have a good first degree before you register. You should check with the institution you are applying to.

Will I have to take a language exam?

Yes, probably. Most UK institutions will require one of these:

			International English Language Testing System (IELTS)
			Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE)
			Cambridge Certificate of Advanced English (CAE)

You might be required to get a certain score in the exam - check with the institutions you are applying to.

You can take these exams with us.
