UTS has English language proficiency requirements for every course.
English language requirements apply to both international and domestic students.
Each UTS course has English language proficiency requirements which you must satisfy in order to be considered. The way you demonstrate your proficiency depends on whether you have studied in English before.
Some undergraduate and postgraduate coursework programs may have additional English language requirements. We recommend reviewing all course details, including the 'Special Requirements' section, to ensure you meet the course criteria.
I have previously studied in English
If you have previously studied in English, you satisfy the UTS English if one of the options below are applicable to you.
I have an assessable qualification undertaken in English
I have completed a course taught in English
I have completed another acceptable qualification or program in English
I have not studied in English
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 if they were obtained less than two years before you applied to UTS. For IELTS OSR, the validity period is two years from the one skill re-take date.
Each course at UTS requires different English language test results to satisfy the language requirement. 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 IBT and TOEFL IBT Home Edition scores, provided the test was taken within the two years prior to application at UTS.
