Will my previous Australian degree and post-graduation help in getting an IELTS waiver for New Zealand visa in Australia for a Postgraduate?

Yes, your previous Australian degree and post-graduation can help you qualify for an IELTS waiver for a New Zealand student visa.

New Zealand institutions often grant English language test waivers to applicants who have completed tertiary education in English-speaking countries like Australia. However, the exact requirements depend on the university. Some may ask for:

- Bachelor’s or postgraduate degree from an institution in an English-speaking country
- Evidence of study duration (usually at least one year)
- Additional proof such as published research or extensive work experience in English

Requirements vary by institution and are subject to change. Please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor to review your documents and confirm your eligibility for an IELTS waiver with your target universities.
