Indeed, as part of the admissions process, overseas students must demonstrate their English language competency, and one of the recognised examinations for this purpose is the overseas English Language Testing System (IELTS). The majority of undergraduate and graduate programs typically require an IELTS score of 6.5 to 7.0 overall, with no individual band score falling below 6.0 or 6.5, depending on the school. Certain degrees may have more demanding criteria, particularly in areas like business, law, and health sciences. Alternative options, including English language preparatory classes, may be offered by the university to applicants who do not meet the IELTS criteria. Students who have finished specific English-language courses are also eligible, as are other English proficiency exams including the TOEFL, PTE, and Cambridge English.
