English Language Requirements

If your previous education was not conducted in English you are required to demonstrate proficiency in English by completing an English language test or program recognised by UTS. English language proficiency test scores are recognised by UTS provided they were obtained less than two years prior to application at UTS.

The English language results required to meet UTS English language requirements for entry into the respective courses are listed below. For all combined courses, the highest English language requirement test scores apply.

Please note that the TOEFL Paper Based Test is currently being phased out by TOEFL. UTS will continue to accept TOEFL PBT scores, provided the test was taken within the two years prior to application at UTS.
