You must sit your exams in British Council offices which are established and reliable exam centres. Check the British Council website for addresses and contact information.

If your country does not have a British Council office, you may be able to sit at an alternative venue. Check our List of Permitted Overseas Exam Venues (Excel: 17kb) for your nearest options. If your preferred venue is not on this list, contact the Exams Office to enquire further.

An administration charge of £50 per exam will be payable to the University. The British Council will also charge a fee for invigilation and use of their premises. You must contact them for information on local charges.
