What This Guide Covers
Academic eligibility
Universities assess previous qualifications, subjects studied, grades and prerequisite subjects. Requirements are programme-specific, so a general country rule should not be treated as an automatic admission guarantee.
English-language requirements
Many programmes ask for evidence of English proficiency. Accepted tests and minimum requirements vary by institution and course. Check the exact programme page before booking a test.
Course prerequisites
Some programmes require specific mathematics, science, commerce, computing or professional subjects. Check prerequisites before building your shortlist.
Supporting evidence
Academic transcripts, certificates, passport details, English test evidence, CV, SOP, LORs, portfolios or work-experience documents may be requested depending on the programme.
How to check eligibility
Create a shortlist, open each official course page, record every requirement, mark what you already have and identify gaps before applying.

Back to Study Abroad GuideFrequently Asked Questions
Can I study abroad with an average academic score?
Possibly. Admission decisions depend on the university, programme, previous qualification, prerequisites and the overall application. Shortlist institutions whose published requirements match your profile.
Are backlogs accepted by overseas universities?
Some institutions may consider applicants with backlogs, but policies vary by university and programme. Check how the institution treats attempts, failed subjects and the final academic record.
Can I apply for a course that is different from my previous degree?
Sometimes. Conversion or interdisciplinary programmes may accept applicants from related or different academic backgrounds when the stated prerequisites are met.
Is English-test eligibility the same for every university?
No. Accepted tests, minimum scores, section requirements and exemptions can differ by institution and programme.
Does university admission eligibility guarantee a student visa?
No. Admission and immigration decisions are separate. A student must satisfy the applicable visa or study-permit requirements as well.
