Tips for Meeting the Requirement
- 1Jardine requires IELTS 7.0 overall with 7.0 in every component — a high and uniform standard. No individual band can fall below 7.0, so focus equally on all four skills.
- 2Since Jardine scholars study at Oxford or Cambridge, you must meet the university's English requirement first. Aim for 7.5+ overall to demonstrate strong English proficiency in your application.
- 3Practice all four IELTS skills in an academic context — the tutorial and supervision systems at Oxford and Cambridge demand strong listening, speaking, reading, and writing abilities simultaneously.
