We will tell you how many weeks of English you need and which courses at Curtin English you should take. This will depend on your current level of English and the minimum level of English required for your mainstream course (your undergraduate or postgraduate course at Curtin). This is called your pathway.
If you already have recent results from a recognised English language proficiency test
Please send us your test results and we will use these results to plan your pathway. Recognised tests include IELTS (International English Language Testing System), TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language), PTE (Pearson Test of English) or Linguaskill. Want to learn more about accepted English proficiency tests?
If you have results from another test results, such as Duolingo, please let us know and we may be able to use it for Pathway planning
