原文恕删 小弟昨晚收到学校(LBS)的回覆 结论是LBS的学生并不会受到这次事件的影响 从内容看起来学校应该是已经知道了4/17的新消息 经过判断才回覆我的问题 内容重点在於LBS相对於其他学校可能有比较高的权限 (或许是因为它是Higher Education Institute的关系?) 因此有权力独立评估学生的英文能力 第二是LBS似乎不打算在CAS上特别加注学生语言能力测验的结果 因为学校认为他当初用了比较全面的方法来评估学生的英文能力 以下附上信件来回的内容供大家参考 两造双方： 小弟我以S代表 回覆问题的人是LBS的Senior Manager for Visa Compliance and Financial Aid 以H代表 (Posted: 17:29 | 19/04/14) Title: Concern about Using TOEFL score to apply for student visa Hi H, This is S from Taiwan, a student of MiM 2015. I took a TOEFL exam in last June and used it to apply for LBS MiM programme. However, I just noticed the recent announcements of UK Border Agency and of ETS. ETS' SELT license seems to have been cancelled by UK Home Office on 4/5. Therefore, I am wondering whether I can use my TOEFL score to obtain a CAS letter and apply for the student visa. In my understanding, some people on the Internet said that their visa applications had been suspended by UKBA because they had used TOEFL or TOEIC as proof of English proficiency. Also, some admitted students of UK schools have been asked to take an IELTS exam to replace their TOEFL grades. Thus, I am wondering whether LBS will cancel its sponsorship of visa for students who used TOEFL as proof of English ability in their admission application. If so, I believe that I will need to prepare for and take an IELTS test as soon as possible in order to obtain the student visa before my departure from my home country in mid-July. Please kindly provide the detailed update about the current situation of this issue. Many thanks! S (Posted: 08:44 | 22/04/14 ) Re: Concern about Using TOEFL score to apply for student visa Hi S, Thanks for your query. The short answer is that there is no change to what you need to do, and certainly no need to take an additional English language test. The longer answer is that there are two different issues here 1) What does LBS use to confirm your English is a sufficient standard? and 2) What does the UK Home Office require in terms of confirmation that your English is a sufficient standard? In terms of point 1 - our requirements have not changed and are independent of anything set by the Home Office. If your English is judged to be of the required standard - demonstrated through your TOEFL, application, interviews etc, then this is what your offer at LBS has been based on. In terms of point 2 - LBS is permitted within the regulations of the Home Office to make its own judgement of students' English language competency. We don't specifically state your TOEFL or TOEIC scores as we use a more holistic approach to confirming your competency. As such, the change to the Home Office approach has had no impact on the way in which LBS confirms English language competence. I hope that helps - let me know if you have any questions. Kind regards H --
