Admission planning

Language requirements

  • Undergraduate examples: IELTS 6.5, PTE 60, DET 110 or TOEFL 4.0 for tests on/after January 21, 2026 (80 earlier).
  • Qualifying English-medium school evidence is another route.
  • Official agency results are needed before registration.
  • Graduate requirements differ.
