Academic assessment
Taylors College has one over-riding
Admissions Policy – we will only accept
your application if your results indicate
that you are able to pass the program.
As a guide, applicants for the Intensive
program must have achieved superior
grades in English and relevant academic
subjects. Students applying for the
Standard program must have achieved

such as Mathematics or the Sciences.
