writing skills. If English is not your first language you will be
required to demonstrate that you have the competence to
undertake study through English by presenting evidence of
achievement in IELTS, TOEFL, or the Cambridge test.
Undergraduate: The minimum English language requirement for
first year applicants is an IELTS score of 5.5. Applicants with
