Admission planning

  • An overseas degree must qualify its holder for comparable academic master's study in the awarding country.
  • Programme-specific academic requirements and assessment also apply; the general degree minimum is not an admission guarantee.
  • Supplementary studies may be required.

Admission planning

Language requirements

  • IELTS Academic requires 6.5 overall with no section below 6.0.
  • PTE Academic requires 68 overall with each communicative skill at least 61.
  • Approved TOEFL and other evidence routes are available; the current new-scale TOEFL minimum is 4.5 overall with no section below 4.0.

Admission planning

International tuition
