      (December 2017) the University reserves the right to change a) acceptable English language tests and/or b) minimum overall and/or subscores required to enter either or both degree
      programmes or Pre-sessional English programmes. Pre-sessional offer holders will be sent further guidance about their visa application within three months of the Pre-sessional start
      date. Advice may vary according to their linguistic scores and the test taken to evidence these.
