ASKED
QUESTIONS |
|
| Which
is THE
BEST
University
in Australia
/ can
you
give
me the
ranking
of Australian
universities? |
|
There
are
no
official
ranking
by
the
Australian
government.
Each
university
decides
on
their
own
entry
requirement
for
each
of
the
course
offered.
Entry
requirements
are
based
on
the
supply/demand
factor
(i.e.:
the
more
students
who
apply,
the
harder
it
is
to
get
in),
the
location
of
the
university,
the
facilities
available,
the
expectations
and
plan
of
the
individual
faculties
within
the
universities
etc. |
|
| What
course
can
I do?
|
|
Firstly,
what
are
your
interests
and
secondly,
there
may
be
pre-requisite
subjects
for
some
courses
and
so
we
will
first
have
to
look
at
your
academic
transcripts.
Thirdly,
we
will
also
have
to
look
at
your
current
level
of
studies.
There
are
various
pathways
such
as
Foundation
programs,
Secondary
School
programs,
Certificate/Diploma
programs
etc. |
|
| Do
I need
to study
English? |
|
As
per
current
visa
regulations
it
is
obligatory
to
meet
the
minimum
IELTS
requirement
for
applying
students.
Institutions
will
have
their
own
English
requirement.
If
you
satisfy
their
English
requirement
&
that
of
the
Australian
immigration
department,
then
there
is
no
need
for
you
to
undertake
English
language
courses
in
Australia.
If
not,
you
may
be
asked
to
sit
for
additional
English
language
courses
or
institutional
placement
test.
Your
scores
in
these
tests
will
indicate
if
you
need
English
language
courses
prior
to
commencement
of
your
formal
course. |
|
| Can
I get
into
university
if I
sit
for
the
IELTS
and
get
good
results? |
|
No.
There
are
two
requirements
which
YOU
MUST
satisfy
before
being
considered
for
eligibility
into
undergraduate
programs.
Firstly,
you
must
satisfy
the
ACADEMIC
REQUIREMENT.
If
you
meet
the
first
requirement,
then
the
institution
will
consider
your
English
language
proficiency.
A
student
with
excellent
academic
record
but
weak
English
will
be
accepted
into
university
on
the
condition
that
he
undertakes
English
language
courses
or
tests
and
proves
that
he
meets
the
language
requirement
of
the
university.
On
the
other
hand,
a
student
with
excellent
English
but
poor
academic
results
will
not
be
offered
a
place
into
university. |
