WHY DO THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS DIFFER FROM THOSE SET BY THE UKVI? The English Language requirements for acceptance on to the degree programmes match those set by the University of Northampton. This is the level judged to be a necessary minimum for students studying for such a degree and is set in order to ensure that those who are accepted onto a programme are able to cope and that academic standards are maintained.
