Typical entry requirements

Entry to a bachelor degree needs a completed senior secondary qualification (or a recognised foundation year) that meets the university's minimum, plus an English test, usually IELTS 6.0 to 6.5 (PTE Academic 50 to 58). Entry to a postgraduate coursework degree needs a relevant bachelor degree, often with a credit average, and IELTS 6.5 (PTE 58). Registration-based fields (nursing, teaching, psychology, architecture) set higher English bars and additional requirements. Always confirm the exact requirements for the specific program.
