Unlocking Your Academic Potential
Eranova University is an English-speaking institution. A strong command of the English language is essential to succeed in your studies, engage in critical debate, and fully immerse yourself in our collaborative academic culture. This page outlines our English language requirements and the support we offer to help you meet them.
All applicants must demonstrate their English language proficiency before they can be admitted. You can meet our requirements in one of the following ways:
If you have completed a recognized high school qualification (such as WAEC/NECO) or prior university-level study in certain English-speaking countries, you may not need to provide a separate test score.
We accept scores from several internationally recognized tests. Please note we only accept results from official test centers.
| Test Type | Undergraduate | Postgraduate | Validity | Test Centers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IELTS Academic | 6.5 overall (no band less than 6.0) | 7.0 overall (no band less than 6.5) | 2 years | Worldwide |
| TOEFL iBT | 90 overall (no component less than 20) | 100 overall (no component less than 22) | 2 years | Worldwide |
| Pearson (PTE Academic) | 62 overall (no component less than 59) | 68 overall (no component less than 65) | 2 years | Worldwide |
Note: Some courses may have higher requirements. Please check your specific course page for details.
If you do not currently meet the direct entry requirements for your chosen degree, our Pre-sessional English (PSE) courses offer a direct pathway to Eranova.
We offer intensive 4, 6, and 10-week courses designed to raise your English proficiency to the required level for university study.
Recommended if you are 1.0 band below the IELTS requirement.
Recommended if you are 0.5 band below the IELTS requirement.
An intensive refresher for those who are very close to the requirement.
Develop your academic writing, critical reading, and research and referencing skills.
Improve your confidence in seminar discussions, academic presentations, and listening to lectures.
Familiarize yourself with the expectations of an Eranova education.
You do not need to apply separately. If you are a suitable candidate for your chosen degree but do not meet the English language requirement, we will automatically include an offer for the appropriate PSE course along with your conditional offer of admission.
