If you fall short

Both catalogues also accept ELS Level 112. The English requirement may not apply if you attended school in a country where English is the official spoken language; the admissions office can provide the list of exempt countries.

Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Lewis programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
