Before we consider your full application, we first look at whether you’re eligible to study your proposed course. Here’s what we look for.

## Qualification requirements

- ### PhD
- ### Masters by Research

### English language requirements

All research courses require evidence of [English language proficiency](https://www.uts.edu.au/for-students/admissions-entry/eligibility/english-language-requirements).

### Discipline specific requirements

Your previous qualifications may need to be in the related discipline if you are applying for a course in any of these areas:

If you’re pursuing a research course in a health discipline, you may need to prove your professional authorisation to practice.
