What is IELTS?

The English test that opens doors abroad

The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) checks how well you can listen, read, write and speak in English. It is jointly owned by the British Council, IDP and Cambridge, and is accepted by thousands of universities, employers and immigration departments in the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the USA, Ireland and Europe.

At UniLife Abroad, IELTS coaching is part of your full study abroad plan. We first check your level and the score your target universities ask for, then build a study plan that gets you there, while the same team handles your admission and visa.

IELTS Academic or General Training?

Both tests have the same Listening and Speaking sections. Reading and Writing are different.

For study abroad

IELTS Academic

For bachelor's, master's and PhD admission at universities and colleges abroad, and for some professional registrations. Reading and Writing use academic topics, charts and graphs.

For work & migration

IELTS General Training

For work, training programmes and migration to countries like Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UK. Reading and Writing use everyday and workplace topics.

For UK visas

IELTS for UKVI

The same test taken at an approved centre, needed for some UK visa applications, such as certain courses below degree level. We tell you if your course needs it.
