TOEFL

If your first language is not English then you will also have to take the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) to prove proficiency in the English language.

It has happened before to us, but some UK scholarship applicants have had to take a TOEFL exam. It is because you are applying for an International Scholarship and the assumption is that International means Non English speaking. It is because so much of the admissions process is software driven and they need every box ticked. The few times a UK applicant has had to take the TOEFL exam they have been rewarded with an supplementary scholarship award. It still requires familairaisationj with the exam layout but really it shuild be one of the easiest exams you can take!

In many cases, if you have studied for a major qualification, such as A levels, you may contact each university to request a 'waiver' from the TOEFL.
