What are the English language requirements for international students?

Admission to an Adelaide University program as an international student requires you to be proficient in English. Your proficiency can by demonstrated by either:

• passing an approved test
• completing an Academic English program
• meeting an approved alternative requirement.

Adelaide University accepts the following tests:

• International English Language Testing System (IELTS) – Academic
• Pearson Test of English (PTE) Academic
• Teaching of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) – iBT
• Cambridge C1 Advanced test (previously Cambridge English: Advanced CAE)
• Cambridge C2 Proficiency test.

Most of these tests have a validity of two years preceding the date of commencement.

If you have successfully completed year 12 in Australia with a passing grade in a recognised English as a Second Language or English Language subject or have successfully completed the International Baccalaureate Diploma you will meet the English language proficiency requirements.
