Plymouth Marjon University: English test requirements
Marjon publishes one English page with per-skill minimums rather than overall scores: one list for undergraduates who do not need a Student visa, one for undergraduates who do, and one for postgraduate Student visa applicants. Initial Teacher Training and other language-heavy programmes may ask for more.
Checked on 2 Nov 2026 against the university's own pages. Universities change their requirements, and some courses ask for more. Always confirm on the university's page before you book a test or apply.

Undergraduate
The page splits undergraduate requirements by whether the applicant needs a Student visa, not by course. Scores are minimums in each skill; no overall score is given. Initial Teacher Training and some more linguistically demanding programmes may need higher scores in particular skills. Other English qualifications may be considered case by case.
