The IELTS examination is world-renowned and one of the most universally recognised test. A good IELTS score can open numerous doors from immigration to university admissions, whilst demonstrating suitable proficiency in English. IELTS scores of over 7.5 are often needed for Oxbridge admissions, so a good score truly opens doors.

University Applications
Universities commonly use IELTS to assess the English proficiency of students from countries with an alternative first language. All universities within the UK accept IELTS within their admissions process, meaning that access to English-speaking universities requires proof of English proficiency through IELTS. A range of other countries also accept IELTS in their admissions process to university, including but not limited to Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and the United States.
A good IELTS score will allow access to more advanced degrees such as Masters or Doctorates, which have higher minimum IELTS scores. A good score will also enable students to have a stronger application for scholarships on offer, by their chosen universities.
To study in an English-speaking higher education institution the IELTS academic test is suitable, measuring if students have the proficiency to begin their studies in a second language. It consists of Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking components with the total test time being 2 hours and 45 minutes. Click here to read more about the format of the Academic IELTS test.
Work Opportunities
In an increasingly globalised economy, many multinational corporations require employees to have proficient English skills. The IELTS exam enables physical proof of communication skills, which allows candidates to be more attractive both for initial hiring and further promotions within the company. Companies based in non-English countries often desire their employees to speak proficient English, especially in international roles such as airlines and embassies, who often have minimum IELTS requirements.
Facilitating Immigration Opportunities
IELTS is the most commonly used approved test for proving English ability in the immigration process for English-speaking countries including Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and the United States. Usually, this is the General IELTS exam, however, the required IELTS exam is dependent on the type of Visa applied to. For student visas an academic IELTS exam needs to be undertaken instead, achieving the minimum requirements.
Crescent Tuition has dedicated English specialists to allow students to perfect their English and achieve the IELTS score needed to access the practical benefits associated with gaining a high IELTS score.
