is not from a majority English-speaking country must provide evidence of English language competency?

Yes. If your first language is not English or you have not completed prior education in English, you must provide evidence of English language competency. OTHM requires proof of proficiency equivalent to IELTS 6.5 overall, with no less than 6.0 in any component. Acceptable evidence includes recent IELTS, TOEFL, or PTE Academic scores. Alternatively, a degree or diploma taught and assessed entirely in English from a recognised institution may suffice. This ensures you can engage with master’s-level strategic concepts, analyse complex governance frameworks, and produce rigorous written assignments. Without valid proof, registration is withheld. This standard aligns with UK higher education expectations for Level 7, maintaining academic rigour for the MBA top-up route.
