English Language Requirements & Support

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.

Meeting Our English Language Requirements

All applicants must demonstrate their English language proficiency before they can be admitted. You can meet our requirements in one of the following ways:

1. Prior Education

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.

2. Approved English Language Tests

We accept scores from several internationally recognized tests. Please note we only accept results from official test centers.
