What You Need to Plan
- Check whether you need an English test such as the IELTS, as requirements depend on the destination and university
- Check the student visa needs for your destination and secure it in time for your preferred intake
- Check each university's own admission requirements
My Advice
Work backwards from your intake date and schedule your English test early so you can retake it if needed. Confirm on each programme page whether work experience is preferred, since requirements differ by university.
