Is there an exam for MSc Nursing in Australia that replaces IELTS, possibly a medical field-based exam?
17 Jun 2026 · Answered by Honnappa Chandrannavar · 1 min read
No, for MSc Nursing in Australia, you generally need to provide an English language proficiency test score such as IELTS, TOEFL, or PTE Academic. While some universities may accept the Occupational English Test (OET), it is not a direct replacement for IELTS in all cases.
You will still need to meet the university's English requirements with an approved test. Requirements are subject to change. If you need help choosing the right test, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
