Additional information

Minimum English language requirements

One of the following:

  • IELTS 6.0-7.0, with 6.0 in reading and writing, and 5.5 in listening and speaking
  • Pre-sessional University English
  • We can usually consider 60% or above in Standard 12th English in order to meet the minimum English Language requirements. However, some courses may ask for a higher score and we regularly review our guidance relating to individual state boards. If you have any concern about meeting the English language requirement of your programme, we would always recommend taking an IELTS or other internationally recognised alternative English language test.
  • We may be able to accept alternative qualifications as evidence of your English language skills

Equivalent academic qualifications can be accepted and we are happy to consider applicants on a case by case basis. Please contact our admissions team if you wish to discuss your specific qualifications.
