What is ELAS?

ELAS (English Language Assessment Service) is a language test created by the CEFL team to assess a candidate's level of English for University of Bedfordshire admission purposes.

The test consists of four parts: listening, reading, writing and speaking, each one graded with a mark between 1 and 9.

This service is offered only at the Luton campus, to applicants who do not already have an English language qualification, and wish to apply for a degree course at the university.
