English tests in China

We are pleased to announce that the Birmingham City University English Proficiency Test (ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø EPT) has resumed in China.

ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø EPT is used to assess your English language ability in the four skills of listening, reading, writing and speaking.

Each part of the test is designed to activate the language skills you will need to begin a course of study at ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø, and it will report on your current skill level. The test can be used as evidence of English language ability for the majority of the undergraduate or postgraduate courses at Birmingham City University. There is no single pass mark for everyone; different courses will require you to achieve a different level in the test.

The Listening, Reading and Writing parts of the test are delivered in person and they are paper-based. The Speaking part of the test can be booked once you have completed the listening, reading and writing parts. The Speaking part is delivered online via Microsoft Teams. You can take this part of the test at home.

You can find further information about the test in the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø EPT Candidate Handbook.Ìý

Please ensure you read the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø EPT Test Rules before booking your test.
