Overview

What the test is

IELTS Academic assesses your English in the setting of higher education. Its focus is on the advanced listening, reading, writing and speaking skills you will rely on as a university student.

With the Self Prep package you study on your own, at a pace that suits you, and your access remains valid for 180 days.

Why it is important

If you plan to study at a university in an English-speaking country, this is the IELTS version you are most likely to need. Certain countries also expect it from professionals – for example in medicine, engineering or law – who are seeking registration.

Why you might take it

You are seeking admission to a university or college in the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia or elsewhere.
You need to meet an English requirement for professional registration.
You want recognised proof that your English is of an academic standard.

Who should consider it

Applicants to undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in English-speaking countries.
Professionals such as doctors, nurses and engineers who need to be certified or registered in an English-speaking region.
Academics and researchers involved in international collaboration or exchange programmes.
