the previous three years a test of proficiency in English at the following minimum level:
IELTS with an overall grade of at least 6.5 with a minimum of 6 in each sub test; or

at least 4.5, or 100 on the iBT (internet-based Test); or
a test of proficiency in English language from the prescribed list published by the University.
An applicant may be considered for admission to the LLM, Postgraduate Diploma in Laws or Postgraduate
Certificate in Laws who alternatively submits evidence of:
Substantial education (minimum of eighteen months) conducted and assessed in English;
Or
Substantial work experience (minimum of eighteen months) conducted in English.
The entrance procedures are detailed at:

and specific programme entrance requirements can be found at:

Where an applicant does not meet the prescribed English language proficiency requirements but believes that
they can demonstrate the requisite proficiency for admission, the University may, at its discretion, consider the
application.
In exceptional circumstances, an applicant who does not satisfy the foregoing requirements may be permitted
to enrol for the LLM, Postgraduate Diploma in Laws or the Postgraduate Certificate in Laws if the University is
satisfied that by reason or his or her background, experience and professional qualifications (if any) the
applicant is fit to follow the course of study.
