English language requirements

If English is your first language you meet our English Language requirement.

If English is not your first language  you will need to establish that your English is good enough to study successfully at university. All tuition at Lincoln is in English although some programmes may, in part, be taught in Te Reo Maori.

It is expected that all students will be able to:

• write clear and grammatically correct English in essays, assignments, reports and exams
• read English with understanding, find relevant information without assistance, comprehend and analyse a line of argument
•  listen actively and discern key points in English; follow complex and technical discussion in lectures and small groups
• speak freely and clearly in English; actively engage in large and small group discussion

Lincoln recognises achievement in a limited number of recognised tests of English Language. Use this table to view the minimum standards for entry to Lincoln programmes.

If supplying a TOEFL test score, please request an original copy to be sent to our institution, code number 9479.

The University may request additional evidence of meeting the English Language requirement.
