Students whose first language is not English must provide proof of English proficiency. Please refer to the table below for acceptable entry requirements. Please note: for students from many countries, an IELTS test result is a prerequisite for obtaining a student visa. You should check whether this is the case for you before choosing which English language test you will take. You are advised to check this with the Australian Government representative in your home country. Contact details for each country are provided at www.immi.gov.au/contacts/overseas. | Type of Course | IELTS Academic | Period of Validity | TOEFL/ TWE | CB TOEFL/ Essay Rating | Period of Validity | | Undergraduate | 6.0 overall (no less than 5.5 in any band) | 2 yrs | 550/4.5 | 213/4.5 | 2 yrs | | B.
