What IELTS score do you need for SRUC (Scotland's Rural College)?

For undergraduate and postgraduate entry SRUC lists PTE Academic 59 with none below 59, TOEFL on or after 21 January 2026 at 4.5 with none below 4.0, LanguageCert Academic 65 with none below 60, Oxford ELLT 6 with none below 5 and Skills for English UKVI at B2. TOEFL taken before 21 January 2026 needs 80 for undergraduate and 88 for postgraduate. Cambridge needs 169 for undergraduate and 176 for postgraduate.

Pathway foundation results from Bellerbys, Kaplan, INTO and ONCAMPUS are accepted at 60% with at least 55% in each part. HNC and HND applicants on a Student visa must provide a SELT (IELTS for UKVI or Skills for English UKVI).

The page lists exemptions for nationals of majority English-speaking countries and for Canadian nationals.

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, but the level must still be equivalent to B2.

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