What IELTS score do you need for Liverpool Hope University?

These course pages were read on 9 October 2026. The Computer Science BSc page asks for 6.0 in reading and writing as well, stricter than the central table, which matches the FAQ wording for undergraduates.

Hope's country table lists school English qualifications from a long list of countries, studied in the last seven years, but India, Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh are not on it. Nigerian NECO English counts at C6 for undergraduates and C4 for postgraduates. A degree from a UKVI majority English-speaking country within the last five years can count, but Hope says it is "unable to accept medium of instruction (MOI) letters from institutions in countries not given on this list".

If you fall short, the Liverpool Hope International Study Centre runs an International Year One from Academic IELTS 5.5 with no component below 5.5.

Hope says its pages are guidance only and that it may change the evidence it accepts. A deposit amount and a Hope-run pre-sessional English course were not stated on the pages read.

For a Student visa, UK Visas and Immigration asks for English at CEFR B2 for degree-level study and B1 below degree level, per gov.uk. At degree level, gov.uk adds, your university can assess your English itself and may ask you to take a different test.

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