"scrapedEntryRequirements": "Educational qualifications are important but limited in what they can tell us about you. 2 Commitment We’re keen to hear about how much musical theatre activity you are doing outside your school qualifications. There is no requirement for a student to evidence their English language qualification at the point of application, audition or interview. Students who accept a place on an undergraduate or postgraduate course may have the opportunity to evidence their English language through a qualification from another country which meets LIPA’s assessment of its academic suitability, take a UKVI-approved Secure English Language Test (SELT), or completing and passing a LIPA Institutional Assessment of English."
