PTE Academic offers a four-skills English language test accepted for UK work and study visas and is approved as a SELT for UK Visas & Immigration (UKVI) purposes.
UK universities offer a high quality education with many appearing in top global rankings. Over 90% of UK international alumni surveyed reported being “satisfied or very satisfied” with all aspects of their lives according to a survey by Universities UK International (UUK International). More than four in five graduates (83%) are satisfied with their careers since graduating. What’s more, students will benefit from up to three years of work experience in the UK upon graduation through the new Graduate Route.
