If I have PTE scores, can I apply for master's or research-related courses that have better visa availability in Australia/New Zealand?

Yes, you can apply for master's or research-related courses in countries like Australia and New Zealand with PTE scores, and both offer good visa options for international students.

- Australia: Most universities require an overall PTE score of 58 - 65 (no section below 50). For a student visa, the minimum is typically 50 overall (no section below 36). These requirements are current but subject to change.
- New Zealand: Universities usually ask for at least 58 overall (no section below 50) for master's programs. For a student visa, the minimum is generally 42 overall (no section below 36). These are subject to change.

With your strong academic record and extensive work experience, you are well-positioned to meet these requirements. If you need help with the next steps, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
