Waivers
Undergraduates can submit a Medium of Instruction letter from their school certifying that English was the primary language of instruction. For graduate study, the English requirement may be waived for applicants with at least 24 college-level credits from an institution where English is the language of instruction. Neither page describes conditional admission.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Barry programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
