Submit any outstanding documents</h2> <p>If successful, submit any outstanding documents by 31 July. This will usually include IELTS test results. The score required by most courses is either 7.0 or 7.5 overall but it&#8217;s important to check your course&#8217;s language requirements.</p> <p>(You can apply without IELTS results. If your application is successful, you’ll receive a conditional offer).</p> </div> <div id="title-block" class="empty:hidden mb-16"> <header class="flex-col gap-8"> <h1 class="text-style-heading-title
