    Some universities accept GCSE (O/L) english C or higher as equal to IELTS 6

    UK is getting more students because they have to show funds for 1 year (fees + living costs)

    When the year is over if the student has no more money he/she is in trouble

    You don't need a agent, all the information is available online

    ielts is lot more tougher than gce o/l English
    for uk u mi8 nt need a agent but it is good to go through who sm1 knws the subject better...

    anyone can study in NZ without IELTS, if they have above C pass (A,B or C pass) in G.C.E. O/L, its a not big matter. and the advantage is they issue Gradute Job Search visa after one years of studies.

    Dont ever go to the agents, be careful if you have to select one. If you're particularly interested in going to the UK, your best and only stop will be the local British Council. I'm telling you, there is no one better than them who could help you, those guys are the best.

    There is a reason why the English proficiency requirements to Australia and New Zealand is high, and if you don't have enough then its going to be a tough time getting through your work or even day-to-day activities. Whats the University you applied to in New Zealand?

    Some universities accept Sri lankan O/L grade C or higher

    You have to check with the individual university/college about that

    A 'C' in the local O/L English being considered as a sufficient value in language for a solely English-based tertiary course in a primarily English-speaking country?

    Do you know anyone who has got in solely on that merit?

    Which universities are these?
