International first-year applicants normally need completed secondary schooling and a GPA of at least 2.5/4.0. Submit academic records and required English translations; transfer applicants have a different assessment. The live catalogue's international undergraduate table accepts IELTS 6.0 overall, or 5.5 overall with at least 5.5 in every section. Duolingo 95 is another listed route. Its broader general-admissions table says 5.5 without component detail; this guide uses the more specific international table.
