When applying for a course, international students must provide proof of their proficiency in English. Alternatively, if a student is awaiting results from an English proficiency test and the minimum academic entrance requirements have been met, a student may be granted a conditional offer for a course. Students who receive a conditional offer must provide proof of meeting the condition specified in the offer (eg English proficiency), prior to or on the enrolment date. Details of the English proficiency requirements are available from any of the faculty offices.
International
students should also read the earlier section 'Information for new students'.
In addition to the assistance outlined in that section the faculty has a number
of staff who are available to assist international students.
Administrative staff are available to assist with matters relating to
enrolment. The undergraduate studies coordinators and postgraduate studies
officers are available to assist with course progression matters.
The international programs manager provides advice on admissions requirements,
application procedures, enrolment matters and the faculty's international
programs.
Language support staff are available at the faculty level and the university
level. Students are strongly encouraged to make use of these services.
Details on the location of these staff are available at the faculty offices.
