As per their Intent document even Bachelors Degree (UK Equivalent) taught in English will work.

But No Idea of Final rule.

But One thing I guess is IELTS 6 wont be valid anymore. Now we may need IETLS 6.5 or 7.

IELTS 6.5 / 7.00 is equivalent to GCSE C grade ? They told that they will accept GCSE C grade or above.
