Eligibility varies by university, institution and program. Students may need relevant academic qualifications, transcripts, English language test results and other supporting documents based on the admission requirements of the chosen institution.

Accepted English language tests depend on the university and course. Institutions may accept IELTS, TOEFL, PTE or other approved tests. Students should always verify the latest language requirements directly with the institution before applying.
