Special Arrangement: should I apply for IELTS (Academic) or IELTS (UKIV Academic), if I wish to apply for UK institutions?

If you are required to apply for Tier 4 student visa, only IELTS (UKIV Academic) will be accepted. Please be reminded to apply for the specific test rather than the regular one.

If you are not required to apply for Tier 4 student visa in order to study in the UK, both IELTS (UKIV Academic) and regular tests can be accepted for exchange application.

Please make sure you refer to the most updated policy as it may change from time to time.
