Take University Internal Placement Tests

How it works

The Benefit

Enter via Diploma & Foundation Pathways
If your English level or academic GPA needs a little boost after High School, Foundation and Diploma programs are the ultimate secret weapon.
Foundation Years: A 6 to 12-month prep program that brings your academic English and core subjects up to university standards before you start your Bachelor’s degree.
Diploma-to-Degree Pathways: In destinations like Singapore or Malaysia, you can complete a Diploma program that counts as Year 1 of your degree. You then progress directly into Year 2 of a UK, New Zealand or Australian Bachelor's program!
The Benefit: No direct IELTS requirement for entry—you build your language skills while earning academic credits.
Enroll in Pre-Sessional English Courses On-Campus
If you receive a conditional offer from a university in Singapore, Malaysia, New Zealand, Australia, the UK with either flexible destination options you can take an intensive English course right on their campus before your academic term begins.
Immersion Advantage: Instead of studying English test techniques in a classroom at home, you immerse yourself in an English-speaking environment abroad, making friends and adapting to student life before lectures even start!
