What this page cannot tell you
The CRICOS register records that this course exists, how long it runs, where it is taught and what it costs. It does not record the things below. No central register holds them:
- 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 Melbourne Polytechnic directly. Get the answer in writing before you pay anything.
If you need English first
Melbourne Polytechnic also teaches English language courses. Many schools combine an English course and a main course in one offer, on one visa. Ask this school if they can do that.
