TEAM (Test of English at Matriculation)
Please note: After you have achieved a place at Edinburgh you may still have to take an English test as part of the matriculation (registration) process. This test is called TEAM and those students whose first language is not English, and who have achieved less than 7.0 (IELTS) or 600 (TOEFL) will be required to take it. This test is to assess whether the student needs further additional language support to help complete their studies.
