English Language

We welcome applications from those whose first language is not English or those whose degree was not taught in English. To ensure such participants benefit fully from postgraduate study, we require evidence of proficiency in English. Our entry requirements are as follows:

  1. IELTS 6.5 (with a minimum score of 6.0 in all components: reading, writing, speaking and listening)
  2. Internet-based TOEFL 92-94 (with a minimum score of 20 in all components: reading, writing, speaking and listening)

Please note that Norwich Business School does not accept WELT (Warwick English Language Test) for MBA Admissions.
