Question regarding funds and ielts

Post by whiteroses » Sat Jul 31, 2010 10:34 pm

Hello Everyone,
I had a couple of questions regarding the UK student visa:

1. Do I need to provide an IELTS score with my visa application, even though the university did not ask for my scores as my undergraduate degree was taught in English? I am not a native speaker of English.

2. Do I have to show my account balance (to show my funds) in Pounds or can the balance be in any currency?

Thanks in advance. :D

1. If applying from outside the UK, see INF29 and also read the Tier 4 (student) policy guidance.
2. Any currency.


regards

The mandatory testing is being introduced for students below degree level right?
If I do have to submit an IELTS regardless of whether the university asked for it for my postgrad course or not, is there a minimum score that I have to get?

Also, can my funds be a combination of a loan and my own funds?

I guess they can be provided you have a bank letter for the loan.
