    START WITH THE OFFICIAL DIRECTORY

    Find your university. Confirm your course.

    Oxford ELLT’s accepting-institution directory covers universities and colleges across several study destinations. Acceptance can depend on the institution and programme, so use the directory to identify options, then ask admissions to confirm your exact course, intake and test version.

    Search accepting institutions ↗

    A university name is the starting point. Your course requirements decide the next step.

    Keep a copy of the university’s written confirmation with your application documents. If a requirement is unclear, send admissions your course title, intake and intended test version before paying.

    BEFORE YOU PAY FOR A TEST

    Your admissions checklist.

    Ask admissions these questions and tick each item once you have an answer.

    This checklist is for your own planning. Your answers are not submitted or stored.

    PERSONAL CIRCUMSTANCES MATTER

    Check the evidence you need.

    International applicants

    Ask the university to confirm the English evidence required for admission and, where relevant, the CAS and visa process. Check the official Student visa English guidance alongside your university’s instructions.

    UK residents

    If you already hold an English qualification or studied in the UK, ask admissions whether it meets the requirement before booking another test. Fee status and English-language evidence are separate questions.

    QUESTIONS STUDENTS ASK

    A few things to check.

    Does every course at a listed university accept Oxford ELLT?

    Acceptance can vary by programme. Confirm the exact course, level, intake and applicant conditions with the admissions team.

    What score do I need?

    Ask for the overall score and the minimum result for each skill. Use the requirement for your specific course rather than a general university score.

    Can I use Spotlight for university admission?

    The provider describes Spotlight as a placement test and states it is not suitable for university admissions. Confirm the correct admissions test before booking.

    When should I register?

    Register after confirming acceptance, required scores and deadlines. Allow time for preparation and check the provider’s current booking and results arrangements.

    Keep the details current.

  • San Francisco State University: International Study Planning

    San Francisco State University: International Study Planning

    Reviewed and updated: 19 October 2026
    For international applicants and UK residents. Intake-specific information is identified below; confirm live details before applying.

    San Francisco State University is a US study option that needs its own admissions, cost and immigration planning. UK home-fee status does not transfer to a US university fee category.

    Choose your level and programme

    Use SF State’s official website to find the relevant undergraduate or graduate department. Check required qualifications, transcripts, English evidence, subject prerequisites and the deadline for the specific term. Transfer and postgraduate applications can have different requirements from first-year entry.

    Understand the international cost calculation

    For 2026–27, SF State lists an additional non-resident charge of US$471 per unit for international and out-of-state students, on top of the relevant base tuition and fees. This is not the total annual cost. Add housing, food, insurance, books and travel, and check the programme’s unit load and extra charges. Read the current cost-of-attendance tables.

    Funding and scholarships

    Do not use a domestic-student aid estimate as an international scholarship offer. Ask about awards available to your status and programme, their application process and renewal conditions. Graduate applicants should review SF State’s graduate funding guidance separately.

    For applicants based in the UK

    Compare the complete US cost with a UK home-fee course before committing. Ask your UK funding body about any proposed overseas study rather than assuming a full US degree will receive the support associated with a UK course. If affordability is the deciding factor, compare UK degree and pathway options alongside the US route.

    Before arranging travel

    After admission, follow the university’s international-student instructions for financial evidence and immigration documents. Confirm the current rules with the institution and US authorities; citizenship and individual circumstances matter. Do not treat an admission offer as a visa approval.

    Prepare your comparison

    • Exact degree and term of entry.
    • Academic and English requirements.
    • Total annual costs and realistic confirmed funding.
    • Housing, insurance and immigration timetable.

  • Syracuse University: Entry, Costs & Scholarships for International Students

    Syracuse University: Entry, Costs & Scholarships for International Students

    Reviewed and updated: 19 October 2026
    For international applicants and UK residents. Intake-specific information is identified below; confirm live details before applying.

    A Syracuse application should be built around the degree, entry route and full annual budget. This guide replaces older broad claims with official admissions and cost resources for your own intake.

    Check your entry route

    For undergraduate study, read Syracuse’s international admission requirements for school records, English evidence and other documents. Requirements can differ by academic school, including portfolio or audition requirements. A pathway, conditional offer, transfer application and direct degree entry should not be treated as interchangeable.

    Tuition is only part of the budget

    Syracuse publishes an international cost-of-attendance estimate covering an academic year. Check the year, programme and living arrangements and plan for future annual increases. Do not use an older pathway fee as the price of the full degree. See current international cost guidance.

    Scholarships are assessed separately

    Syracuse identifies merit scholarships for international undergraduates. The amount, eligibility and renewal conditions depend on the actual award; scholarships are not guaranteed by an application or agent referral. Graduate funding must be checked with the relevant programme. Read the university’s international funding information.

    If you are a UK resident

    Your UK home-fee classification does not create a US home-student fee or scholarship entitlement. Compare the US budget with UK options, and verify any overseas-funding proposal directly with the responsible funding body before committing. Use our UK resident guide to frame that comparison.

    Application planning

    • Choose the exact degree, school and term.
    • Check document, English and any creative-submission requirements.
    • Obtain a written cost estimate and read deposit and refund terms.
    • Confirm financial evidence and immigration steps with Syracuse after admission.

    Speak to Knighton

    We can help you organise your questions and compare suitable study routes. Only the university confirms admission, credit transfer and scholarship awards, and the relevant authority decides immigration applications.
