For an international foundation diploma you generally need a solid, workplace-level command of English - enough to study, write and take part in classes - often evidenced by a test like IELTS or an equivalent. Exact requirements vary by provider.
What level is expected
- Enough English to follow teaching and complete written work
- Commonly evidenced by IELTS or an accepted equivalent
- Alternative evidence if you studied in English before
If your English needs work
Many providers offer support to strengthen academic English during the course, so a foundation diploma can also be a chance to build the language skills a degree will demand.
What to confirm
- The exact English requirement and accepted tests
- Whether prior study in English is accepted as evidence
- What language support is available
The bottom line
You need functional academic English, usually evidenced by a test, with support often available to build it further. For the International Foundation Diploma, ask admissions what evidence applies to you. See entry requirements or enquire today.
