Study in English
Opening the door to opportunities for study
Many people want to learn English so that they can study in an English-speaking country or complete a course using English materials.
If English is not your first language, most reputable colleges and universities will require proof of your ability to use the language well enough to complete the course.
Cambridge ESOL is a part of the world-famous University of Cambridge and our certificates are recognised around the world as high-quality proof of language ability.
Hundreds of educational institutions and thousands of other organisations officially recognise our certificates as proof of your abilities.
If you know what country you wish to study in, or know the name of the institution you wish to attend, you can search our online database — it will show which of our certificates they officially recognise.
But remember, if an institution is not on our official list, it does not mean they do not accept Cambridge ESOL certificates — check with your chosen college or university to find out.
'I am working in an international environment which requires me to continuously improve my English. To pass the FCE at Grade B is certainly a commitment to that. After the exam I got the motivation to study more English and then decided to enrol in an MBA conducted in English. The certificate helped me to complete my enrolment procedures as a proof of my English level.'
