Entry requirements

If you don't meet the English language requirements for your intended academic course, one of our Pre-Sessional English courses can help you achieve the required level.

The length of Pre-Sessional English course you require will depend on:

  • The English language requirements for your intended academic course. You can check this on our course pages or find it in your offer letter
  • Your current English language proficiency, based on your most recent IELTS Academic test or equivalent English language test.

You won't usually need to complete a Pre-Sessional English course if you're from a majority English speaking country.

English language entry profiles

The University has seven different English language entry profiles. Almost all of our courses, with a few exceptions, have English language requirements aligned to one of these profiles.
