Nigerians who seek admission in many UK universities are subjected to further English tests just to prove that they can learn with the English language which is very ridiculous in so many ways. But I guess that is a topic for another place and time.
Apparently, majority UK universities do not recognise Nigeria as an English-speaking nation.
Therefore Nigerians seeking admission into UK universities go through further English proficiency tests such as IELTS and TOEFL.
However, there are a few schools that accept a C6 in English in the West African School Certificate Examination or The National Examination Council (WAEC & NECO) as a qualifying English test.
These are the schools:
1. The University of Sheffield
Nigerians can apply to the University of Sheffield without IELTS or TOEFL if they have a good score in English in WAEC.
According to the school’s website, the minimum acceptable score by the school is a C6 in English.

2. The University of Dundee
The University of Dundee is located in Scotland, UK. According to the school’s website, it not only accepts WAEC, but also accepts NECO. Very good news indeed!
However, you must have made a C6 in English for it to be accepted in the place of IELTS or TOEFL. They won’t take anything lower than that.
Also, the school will require you to provide a scratch card from WAEC for online verification of the result.

3. The University of Southampton
Nigerians applying to the University of Southampton are excepted from further English Language tests if they can present a C6 in WAEC English.
This is outlined on the school’s official website specifying English Language requirements from international students.

4. The University of Edinburgh
At the University of Edinburgh, the acceptance of WAEC and NECO comes with the condition that you complete a foundation year program to further demonstrate your proficiency in Eglish language.
This means they don’t fully accept the WAEC and NECO result as proof of English proficiency.
