  • Entry requirements — the qualifications you need to join
  • English level — the IELTS, PTE or similar score you need
  • Start dates — which months the course begins
  • Credit for past study — whether your past study makes the course shorter
  • Whether places are available now

Each school sets these rules. They can be different for each country and each student. They also change between intakes. Ask The University of Newcastle (UoN), The University of Newcastle Language Centre, Sydney directly. Get the answer in writing before you pay anything.
