MOI & Indian 12th Standard English
Indian 12th Standard — Case by Case (verify per course)
Indian 12th Standard may be accepted as an alternative for direct applications where the applicant achieves the equivalent IELTS level required for the course. It is NOT accepted across all courses (especially some Health portfolio courses) — treat as case-by-case and verify with SHU Admissions.
Medium of Instruction (MOI) — Needs Verification
Medium of Instruction (MOI) acceptance is not stated in SHU English guidance — verify with SHU Admissions before applying.
Verification Required
The exact per-course required band, acceptance of Indian 12th Standard for a specific course, and formal MOI letter acceptance should be verified with Sheffield Hallam before advising students. Health portfolio and some professional courses require higher scores.
