The UK Student Visa requirements are as follows

You are required to provide evidence of your proficiency in the English language when applying for a student visa to study in the UK. This typically requires achieving a satisfactory score on a reputable English language examination, such as the IELTS test.

Your ability to read, write, speak, and listen in English will be evaluated by UKVI, and the criteria used to do so will change depending on your academic level. In addition, the standards for proficiency in the English language that your chosen educational institution (sponsor) may have may vary.

An officer from UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) may conduct an interview with you as part of the process of applying for a visa. Regardless of how well your English was tested, you may not be allowed to enter the United Kingdom if you are unable to hold even a basic conversation without the assistance of an interpreter.

As part of the application procedure, you are going to need to have a biometric residence permit issued by UKVI. In order to have your fingerprints and a digital photo of your face taken, you will need to make an appointment at the UK Visa and Immigration Service (UKVI).
