Loughborough University: Media
Your Question您们好：我现在的情况是：11月参加雅思成绩6分。我想申请拉夫堡大学的媒体专业。 我的中介说：我可以先申请有条件的OFFER， 然后在明年7月之前把成绩补到6.5。我怀疑是否可以像他说的那样有条件OFFER，能申请到拉夫堡。 我是青岛大学的学生，前三年平均分在80以上。 我的情况真的可以申请到拉夫堡大学吗？ 我是学广告策划学的。想申请英国前10名的学校。 能不能给一些意见和建议呢？关于学校的。In November I took IELTS and got 6.0, I want to apply for Media in Loughborough, my agency told me I can apply for a conditional offer first and before July next year I just need to get 6.5. I doubt this. I am at Qingdao University, my academic results in the first 3 years are above 80%, do you think I can be accepted by Loughborough, my major is Advertising. I want to apply for a top 10 university in the UK. Can you advise me on which universities I can apply to?
The Answer
Don't worry, it is true that Loughborough can give you a conditional offer. Check out this link below to see all the details about IELTS requirements at Loughborough:

For most courses, with IELTS 6.0, you do not need to re-take IELTS - you just take a summer English course at the University (pre-sessional), lasting 5-10 weeks.
However, if you applying for the MA Media and Cultural Analysis, the IELTS requirement is slightly higher: either a minimum IELTS score of 7.0 or a minimum TOEFL score of 620 (paper-based), 270 (computer-based) or 100 (internet-based).
Alternatively, applicants with a minimum IELTS score of 6.5 or TOEFL 600/250 may be admitted to a 5 week pre-sessional English language course.
The best universities in this field are: UEA, Loughborough, Royal Holloway, Warwick, Goldsmiths College (University of London), Leeds, Sheffield, Westminster, Sussex and Central Lancashire If your grade stays above 80% you should be accepted by most these universities but Loughborough, Warwick, Royal Holloway and UEA will consider the standing of your university in China and do prefer 211 universities.
You should apply to the top universities that you like plus some of the others (which are all good or very good universities).
