Almost all of the world’s top universities use Cambridge English exams as a key tool in their international student recruitment.
99% of the top 100 universities included in the Times Higher World University Rankings 2015–2016 use Cambridge English exams to verify the English language skills of students.
The Times Higher list ranks universities worldwide in terms of teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook. The Cambridge English exams used by universities include IELTS, Cambridge English: Advanced (CAE) and Cambridge English: Proficiency (CPE).
Nicola Johnson, Global Manager, Recognition at Cambridge English said:
‘It’s really encouraging that universities around the world rate the importance of having the right English language skills so highly. The growing number of university courses taught in English has increased the need for more accurate ways of measuring the English language skills of students. Cambridge English exams cover the English language skills students need for a positive study experience and this is reflected in their widespread university recognition.’
