The UK has been in the spotlight for students looking to study abroad and immerse in diverse educational and cultural experiences. The country continues to offer incentives, scholarships, and friendlier visa policies to attract new students. Over 430,000 international students from over 180 countries are currently studying in the UK.
Pearson Test of English (PTE) can help you start your journey to the UK. The PTE Academic test, one of the most sought-after English proficiency tests globally, is recognized by over 3,000 universities, colleges, and professional bodies worldwide, including 99% of UK institutions.
“With increasing global recognition, PTE is a reliable test of English that more and more students are now opting for across many study destinations due to its reliability, accessibility, and faster results. Campus Direct is pleased to partner with Pearson in making PTE accessible to more and more students”. Amrith Weerasekera – Director – Campus Direct
Three UK universities are in the top 20 globally for employability, and 14 are among the top 100 (Top Universities employability rankings, 2021). This indicates that UK graduates are among the most employable in the world. As we rebuild from a global pandemic, the UK began the Graduate Route initiative, hoping to welcome 600,000 international higher education students annually by 2030. This offers a two to three years secure-post study work visa letting students live and start a career in the UK after finishing their studies.
“The UK is well known for its world-class education, and we welcome students from across the globe, including Sri Lanka. The PTE test is a great way for students to demonstrate their English language proficiency and ensure they are ready for academic study in the UK.”
-Sarah Hulton, the British High Commissioner to Sri Lanka.-
The PTE Academic test takes only a two-hour AI-powered computer-based exam to measure the four English language skills; speaking, writing, reading, and listening, and delivers fair and impartial results in approximately 48 hours. Sri Lanka has three PTE test centers in Colombo and utilizes a pool of quality educators, up-to-date digital content, assessments, qualifications, and data.
“I chose PTE Academic because it’s faster, fairer, and more accurate. After taking the test, I’m more than happy to recommend PTE Academic UKVI to anyone looking to study in the UK. I received my test scores and feedback within two business days, which was impressive. The AI-based test evaluation used by PTE UKVI ensures that results are accurate and eliminates the potential for human bias or error, which is crucial. The simplicity of the PTE Academic test is also a significant advantage. It’s a two-hour test, and you can schedule it 24 hours in advance.” Hashini Wijetunga – PTE test taker – Student at the University of Nottingham Trent University
