Yes, all AIT programs are conducted in English; thus, you will need to provide proof of adequate English language proficiency. There are three ways to provide proof of adequate English language proficiency.
- Citizenship of an English speaking country.Applicants who are citizens of and have been educated in an English- speaking country (Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the UK, and the USA) are exempted from English testing. Proof of citizenship and studies must be submitted.
- Certificate of English Medium of Instruction.Applicants who have earned a degree at a university at which English is the sole medium of instruction may submit a document signed by the University Registrar attesting to English medium of instruction. AIT reserves the rights to accept or reject such certificate based on our extensive list of recognized certificates of English Medium of Instruction. Applicants who submit a certificate are requested to sit the AIT Academic Writing Test upon arrival to determine their level of proficiency on the AIT scale.
If your submitted certificate is not acceptable, we will inform you immediately. In this case, you are required to submit an English score of AIT-approved tests (See Number 3 below).
- Approved test of English language proficiency.Applicants with good undergraduate records and minimum scores on official tests of English proficiency can be admitted without conditions. The approved tests and minimum scores are:
o AIT EET 6
o IELTS-Academic Module: 6(Writing band).
o Other test scores such as TOEFL-Internet-based / computer-based / paper-based; CEFR; and, TOEIC may be considered based on equivalent scores to the IELTS-Academic Module.
Students with good academic records with lower scores may receive “conditional admission”. They will be required to attend English classes at AIT until their scores improve. Please see the test score comparison table here.
Those who are interested in applying but do not meet the minimum English proficiency requirements for admission or conditional admission are recommended to study English in their home countries until they are ready to re-apply.
