Hi, in my case I am a international student, English is not my first language and I will be moving to London on a visa for a PhD. I had an TOEFL but had to take the IELTS because of visa.

Do you have a conditional offer regarding English?

The university might accept the Cambridge, it depends on the school you are applying for.

If you you will also need a visa than it is worth checking what tests are accepted for UKVI.

thank u so much for replying! I'm going to study aerospace engineering, going into first year, and I have settled status in the UK. In my application, I mentioned and put my Cambridge code but in my offer I was requested to pass IELTS. i have emailed them yesterday and hopefully they'll clarify this for me
