At TEG we understand that taking an official English Language test might be frightening, especially when English is not your first language.
With that in mind, TEG has partnered with Cambridge Assessment English to offer free online English tests to applicants looking to pursue a bachelor’s or master’s degree at one of the five campuses of the University of the West of Scotland in the UK.
There are two tests available
Test One:
This resource can be useful for checking your current level of English, as well as giving prospective students an idea of whether they would be ready to apply to study in the UK or if they need to further improve their English language skills.
Please note that this test is designed to only give an approximate indication of the participant’s levels of English, and so should not be used as a definitive measure of their language skills.
The test is open to anyone wishing to take an English Test.
Test Two:
The Cambridge English Placement Test is a fast and reliable way to assess your current level of English before you take a Secure English Language Test (SELT) to start your application process. It’s developed by Cambridge English, part of the University of Cambridge.
*Check computer specifications required
TEG wants all prospective students to have the best possible chance of achieving their academic goals. English Language tests can be expensive, time-consuming and even scary at times. We wanted to offer an opportunity for applicants to check their English Language level before taking an official SELT test in order to apply. It’s free, fast and accurate!
Please note that this test is designed to only give an approximate indication of the participant’s levels of English, and so should not be used as a definitive measure of their language skills.
Cambridge English Placement Test is available to prospective students interested in studying at one of the five campuses of the University of the West of Scotland through TEG London. You can request to take the test after submitting your application to one of our Admissions Officers.
