Applying to study at LST

We welcome you to apply to study at LST regardless of your age, background or nationality.

London School of Theology (LST) provides academically rigorous and unique courses in an interdenominational context. 

All entry requirements can be found on the programme pages. Before you submit your application, please make sure you have checked your programme’s specific entry requirements and the admission guidelines listed below.  

International applicants are required to complete an IELTS test and achieve an overall score of 7.0 or higher, with a minimum of 6.5 in each category. The UK Government waives the requirements for the IELTS for students from a few countries, which are listed here https://www.gov.uk/student-visa/knowledge-of-english. If you hold a previous degree or higher qualification from one of these countries, you are also exempt. If you are from a country that is not listed, you must take an Academic IELTS (at a UKVI approved centre). This test must be organised and paid for by yourself. The test results are valid for 2 years only. 

Our undergraduate programmes are quality assured by Middlesex University and students will receive a Middlesex award on successful completion.
