What IELTS score do you need for the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine?

LSTM accepts India Standard XII (AISSCE) English at 70% or above, from the CBSE or CISCE boards only, so state board results do not count. It also accepts WASSCE, WAEC, GCE or NECO English at credit (4–6) or above, and the Kenya KCSE at grade C.

You are exempt if you are a national of a majority English-speaking country, or hold a degree equal to a UK degree that was taught in English in a majority English-speaking country (Canada excluded). If your degree was taught and assessed in English elsewhere, for example in India, Pakistan or Nigeria, LSTM points you to the Ecctis English Proficiency and Qualification Comparison service to prove your level.

Applicants to a professional diploma, a non-credit-bearing short course or the online MSc in Global Health can apply to LSTM's English Language Waiver programme, which weighs school certificates, education and professional experience instead of a test. Campus master's degrees still need one of the routes above.

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 LSTM programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
