English language requirements

Applicants applying for admission to a master’s degree, graduate diploma or graduate certificate must either have a record of satisfactory achievement in tertiary studies in which the language of the institution was English and the language of instruction, examination and assessment was English, have successfully completed the course 'English for Academic Purposes' at the University’s Centre for English Teaching, or have met the approved minimum English language requirements for their degree through an internationally recognised English language test such as the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), the Test of English as a First Language (TOEFL) or the Combine Universities Language Test (CULT).

While the University has set minimum standards of English expression for postgraduate candidates, many courses have more stringent requirements so it is essential to confirm the English language requirements of your intended degree with the relevant faculty before application.
