Entry requirements for international students

To study at Victoria University (VU) as an international student you must meet academic and English-language requirements.

In some cases, there may be additional or supplementary entry requirements.

English-language tests

You must take a recognised English language test no more than two years before you start your course. If your qualification was mostly taught in English, check the English-language requirements (0 Bytes) to see if you are eligible for an English-language exemption.

Recognised English-language tests:

  • International English Language Testing System (IELTS) academic module
  • Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) internet
  • Pearson Test of English (PTE) Academic
  • University of Cambridge – Advanced (CAE).

In some cases, we will accept results from tests that are not listed above.

Check that your qualification meets the international minimum academic requirements for a course.

Additional or supplementary entry requirements

  • proof of work experience
  • a portfolio or folio of works
  • a police check or working with children check from your usual country of residence
  • a supplementary information form.

Review the admission information within a course page to find out if additional or supplementary information is required.
