English Language Requirements

It is important that you can demonstrate a suitable level of English language proficiency and all students are expected to have reached a certain standard of English before commencing any programme of study at Aberdeen Business School.   

All international students for whom English is not their first language are required to provide evidence of linguistic ability by achievement of the following qualifications. These are accepted as proof of English language proficiency and are required for entry to Postgraduate programmes:

The following equivalent qualifications of English proficiency will be considered on an individual basis:

• ULEAC (Overseas 'O' Level English)
• NEAB UETESOL
• GMAT
• Cambridge CPE (proficiency)
• Cambridge CAE (advanced)
• CCSE
• AEB Test in English for Educational Purposes (TEEP)

Robert Gordon University run a pre-entry English programme for students needing to improve their IELTS score to the required admission level. Courses begin in May and run until August.

• Pre-entry English programme (PEP)

Language Support

At the Aberdeen Business School we understand that some students may need additional help with certain language skills. Free English language tuition is offered throughout the year.

Classes are held on a regular basis at different campuses, or you can attend individual tutorials. Academic writing and presentation workshops, which have been designed to support language development, are also offered.

• English Language Tuition
