1、申请仍然需要UKVI IELTS或者其他受认可的SELT的英语成绩(除非他们已经符合联合CAS的主要课程ELR);
2、线上课程仅供Tier 4学生自由选择,一旦恢复线下授课,学生如果没有SELT也可持短期学习签证学习;
3、如果学生3年前参加过IELTS/PTE测试,并且达到合适的英语水平,学校可以在UKVI允许校方进行自我评估的学位课程中接受这一点,但这不能作为SELT申请语言班;
4、布鲁内尔考虑过Duolingo English,但目前确认使用的是Atlas English Test(可以设置更多的日期)。
I’d like to take this opportunity sharing with you some recent update from Brunel University London.
Pre Sessional English
UKVI have been lobbied by the HE Sector in general to relax the rules around the requirement for Secure English Language Tests but there has still not been any movement on this. This means as things stand we still need a UKVI IELTS (or another approved SELT) to sponsor a Tier 4 student on a Pre-sessional English course (unless they already meet the main course ELR for a Joint CAS).
However, while all our Pre Sessional English teaching remains online, your students are free to accept whatever you choose - this only applies to Tier 4 sponsorship. Likewise, if teaching can resume on campus, students could come with a Short-term Study Visa if they don't have the SELT.
If it is agreed academically that students have suitable English proficiency if they took IELTS/PTE 3 years ago, we could accept this for degree courses where UKVI allow us to make our own assessment - but again this would not apply for the SELT requirement on Pre-sessional English.
Brunel does consider Duolingo English, but we are using Atlas English test and can set more dates with this.
Re Brunel’s PSE online English course, students will be taught face-to-face in real time and will cover the same materials as our face-to-face course. We have now developed
our own online test and students will be made familiar with this form the beginning of the course. They will be tested on reading, writing, listening and speaking and will do a
presentation for their speaking.
Brunel and COVID in the UK
In the meantime, I would like to share with you of Brunel’s COVID combating update. We are immensely proud of the role that Brunel is playing in supporting the national need, and particularly the NHS and our local community. Many staff have already responded to calls from the NHS, asking for volunteers for clinical roles, and we should be able to share more about the support we are offering locally in the coming weeks. Our reservists have been called up and the University has also signed up to the national C-19 Business Pledge, through which organisations agree to put in measures to support their employees, publish clear advice to customers and help communities through the pandemic.
Our research, too, is already having an impact. Drs Eve Corner and Allison Wiseman (CHLS) and the COVID education project team are making a major contribution to NHS Nightingale, a national project converting the ExCel Centre in East London into a hospital for patients with COVID-19.
Professor Wamadeva Balachandran (CEDPS) - better known as Bala - and his team are calling on manufacturers to support the production of a device developed by Bala and colleagues for COVID-19 testing. The device would allow people in self-isolation to test themselves and health care workers to test both themselves and their patient - measures which would help to limit the spread of the virus, ease the burden on the NHS and enable people to get back to work. In addition, our Visiting Professor of Engineering: Creativity and Communication, Prof Lucy Rogers, demonstrated the impact of good hygiene on viruses – using just a bar of soap, pepper, oil and water in a clip on social platform TikTok. The video has been shared more than 1.3 million times and picked up by the BBC and Mail Online.
