The results of IELTS/TOEFL provided should be within two years (i.e., for the 2025/26 intake, the IELTS/TOEFL test must be obtained on or after 1 Jan 2023); and

The results of IELTS/TOEFL should be “taken in test centres” (i.e., tests taken online such as IELTS indicator/IELTS Online and TOEFL Home Editions are NOT accepted).

Notes to Non-local Applicants

• Applicants whose entrance qualification is obtained from an institution in a non-English speaking system should include their IELTS/TOEFL test result taken in test centres within 2 years in the application documents. Otherwise, the application may be delayed.
