ITS has run these Oxford entrance tests for many years. Oxford is now changing the way they are run. Details for 2024 will be posted here when they become available.

The MLAT is a requirement for certain applicants to Modern Languages, Linguistics and their joint degrees at the University of Oxford (other subjects may also need additional testing as well). Check the University of Oxford website for more details.

There are ten sections in the MLAT. Two sections are: the Language Aptitude Test (LAT: for those applying for new languages a s beginners and for Russian on its own), and the Philosophy test (for those applying for Philosophy and Modern Languages). There are also eight individual sections for each of the following languages:

• Czech
• French
• German
• Italian
• Modern Greek
• Portuguese
• Russian
• Spanish

Your result will help universities determine whether or not to interview you. Even after interview, your result will remain a s part of the total consideration of whether to offer you a place.

The test is now run by Tata Consultancy Services and ITS Education Asia is an authorised centre (#35351) for this test. Exam dates are held each year in late October/early November. Candidates can enrol directly with ITS, where we are
