University of Huddersfield: English test requirements
Huddersfield publishes one standard table of accepted English tests for all taught degrees and a separate, higher table for research degrees, and says requirements can vary by course. Medium of Instruction certificates are not accepted for study in the UK.
Checked on 31 Oct 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.
