Admission Requirement

Standard Postgraduate Entry Requirements

For admission into Curtin, applicants must provide evidence of completion of a degree from a recognised university and provide
evidence of English language proficiency. In addition, applicants may need to meet specific course pre-requisites

(visit www.international.curtin.edu.au to search for specific prerequisites). Application deadlines can be found on page 3 of this booklet.

For some courses at the Graduate Certificate level, evidence of relevant work experience may be sufficient. As all courses at Curtin are taught in English, applicants will need to meet Curtin’s English language requirement. Applicants may be deemed to meet Curtin’s

English language requirements based on completion of a Bachelor degree course in which English was the language of instruction.

Any one of the tests in the tables below can also be accepted as satisfying Curtin’s language requirement.

Minimum English Language Entry Requirements

† All Master of Science coursework programs with the Department of Mathematics and Statistics require a

minimum IELTS overall band score of 6.0 or equivalent.

Some courses do not accept CUTE as meeting the minimum English language entry requirement, for example:
- Postgraduate Diploma in Business (Accounting)

- Master of Commerce (Accounting)

Courses with a Higher English Language Requirement
