The Secret to Go Ahead

You must prove your knowledge of the English language if English is not your first language, you must meet the minimum English language requirements to join the course: Usually 6.0 with a minimum of 5.5 in each component (IELTS). 

Most of the University accept a range of Secure English Language Test (SELT) from an approved provider and qualifications for students from all over the world.

If you do not have the required English language skills, most universities offer several short pre-sessional courses in English for Academic Purposes. Please visit the relevant institutions' websites for more information.

However, students are limited to working 20 hours a week to ensure that they do not hamper their studies with work. Successful applicants will be informed of the conditions of the student visa.
