English Proficiency Requirements

If you did not study in an English-speaking country or if English is not your first language, you must prove your English proficiency through an English language test or the QBridge Language Pathway programs.

If an English Language test score is required, you will find it listed in your To Do List in your Solus student account. If you have been asked to submit an English language test and believe this does not apply to you, you may request a waiver. For more information, see English Proficiency Requirement Waivers below.

Queen’s University reserves the right to request an English language test result from any applicant at any time, when necessary.
