UK universities make proficiency tests flexible: find out which ones are accepted in 2020

With the indisputable changes we are facing in this battle against the increase in COVID-19 cases worldwide, UK universities have started to speak out about new application processes.

Among the many steps that are necessary at this time (and that loveUK can help you), the proficiency tests are one of the main documents that need to be presented when submitting your application. If you still don't have your approval, even with all the correct documentation, you will have a backlog when you receive your acceptance letter. So be smart to know what your alternatives are to make your “Conditional Letter” in a “Unconditional Letter” even in times of social isolation.
