Brazilian law students can now prove their English language skills with a Cambridge exam
15 May 2009
Students studying at Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais in Brazil can now use English tests set by a department of Cambridge University for entry onto law courses.
Candidates for M.A. and PhD courses can now prove their English language ability with Cambridge ESOL’s International Legal English Certificate (ILEC) – at level C1 of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) – and Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE).
ILEC is specifically designed for those wanting to develop their English language skills in a legal environment. CPE is Cambridge ESOL's most advanced exam aimed at those who use English for professional or study purposes. Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais is one of the many universities across the world who recognise CPE as proof of proficiency in English.
Both exams have the advantage of being aligned to the CEFR – an internationally recognised benchmark of language ability.
