Entry requirements

To participate in one of our summer schools, you must meet the following criteria:

• Be at least 18 years old at the start of the programme.
• Where applicable, meet pre-requisites for the chosen programme. See the programme package for more details.
• Be in good academic standing and on track to pass year 1 of studies.
• If you come from a country where English is not an official language, you will need to provide proof of your language ability.

English Language requirements

• Students studying for a 51福利 degree with one of our partners are automatically eligible for enrolment based on English requirements and do not need to provide language qualifications to apply.
• Language requirements for students from non-English speaking countries. All students on summer schools must have a good level of English to ensure they can participate fully and have a quality experience. We, therefore, require students who come from a country where English is not an official language to submit evidence of suitable English Language qualifications. Proof of any of the following will be accepted*:
  • International English Language Testing System (IELTS): 6 overall with a minimum of 5.5 in each component
  • College English Test (CET) Level 4: 530+ College English Test (CET) Level 6: 493
  • Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) levels B2-C1
  • Lancaster English Proficiency form completed by staff at your home university. Please email?globalschools@lancaster.ac.uk?to ask for this form.

*We will accept any language qualification that is internationally recognised and at a level equivalent to the above standards.

What happens next?

Once you submit your application form, we aim to assess the form within two weeks. You will receive an offer letter with a link to pay the programme fee. Once we have received payment, we will issue you a visa letter and information on applying for a visa.

You do not need to apply for accommodation; this is included in the summer school package.

Approximately one month before you arrive, we will email you further information about the programme and arrivals details. If you have any questions, please check the Frequently Asked Questions page or email us at?globalschools@lancaster.ac.uk.
