Some major UK business schools including the University of Cambridge’s Judge Business School, Durham University Business School, and London’s Cass Business School have all suspended use of TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) exams as proof of English language ability for students from outside Europe.
Other UK universities are also not accepting the test. Other schools such as Said, Henley, London Business School (LBS), and Warwick have confirmed they will continue to accept the TOEFL test for students outside the European Union.
The move comes after the BBC uncovered testing fraud.
The UK government suspended leading test provider English Testing Service (ETS), which administers TOEFL, as official evidence of English language ability after fraud came to light in another ETS-administered test, TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication), in February.
Although ETS will no longer be an acceptable official test provider, the UK’s Home Office will accept any visa applications dependent on TOEFL provided they are submitted and paid up by July 22, 2014.
