This may be where you have lived for the majority of the three years previous to the date on which you intend to commence your studies, provided that you were not in that country purely for educational purposes. The Institute reserves the right to make a determination of a candidate's fee status based on this and other information. Applicants whose first language is not English, or who have not received their higher education in English, will be required to produce evidence of their English language proficiency. They should provide details of English language qualifications obtained and details of any results pending. However applicants should be aware that this is a minimum requirement.
Some courses require a higher level of proficiency.
Applicants who wish for further guidance on English language requirements should contact the Institute directly. If applicants are particularly concerned about the detailed elements of a course being offered, they should contact the relevant faculty office to check the course details, prior to accepting an offer of a place on the course. Taught Master's and Diploma programmes normally begin in late September. If your application is based on a qualification from outside the UK you should also obtain a transcript and submit it with your application form. A transcript is a detailed statement which confirms the award of your qualification and also lists all the subjects studied and grades obtained.
