You must have the appropriate English language proficiency level to study your proposed course before you are admitted into QUT. There are two formal tests of English proficiency which QUT will accept: IELTS and TOEFL.

- IELTS: overall band score of 6.5 with no sub-band below 6.0; or
- TOEFL (iBT): overall score of 90 with no sub-score below 20 (if TOEFL permitted by visa requirements).

You may be exempt from taking a formal test if your secondary or post-secondary studies were conducted entirely in English and you have passed an English language or one or more communication subjects.
