What IELTS Score is required for UK

The IELTS score required for the UK depends on the purpose of your application, such as studying, working, or migrating.

For most student visas, particularly for degree-level courses, a minimum overall score of 6.0 is typically required, with no less than 5.5 in each section (Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking).

For courses below degree level, the minimum score is generally 4.0 in all sections.

For work visas, such as the Skilled Worker visa, the required score depends on the job role. Most roles require an overall band score of 4.0, while certain professions, like healthcare workers, may require higher scores (e.g., 7.0 or above in specific sections).

For UK immigration, IELTS for UKVI (UK Visas and Immigration) is usually required, which is a Secure English Language Test (SELT) accepted by the UK government. It’s essential to check the specific requirements of your visa category and institution.
