Admissions checklist
Entry requirements
Research degree. Entry is by application to a supervisor and research proposal as well as academic merit. NOTE: a registered postgraduate RESEARCH course is the one route that exempts an Indian applicant from the visa English test. · English: IELTS 7.0 (no band below 7.0) · English test waiver: NOT AVAILABLE for the visa. India is not on the Home Affairs exemption list, and the five-year-study exemption counts only Australia, UK, USA, Canada, NZ, South Africa and Ireland - study in India does not qualify. The ONLY exemption an Indian applicant can normally use is enrolment in a registered postgraduate RESEARCH course. Swinburne separately sets its own admission English requirement, which is not the same test.
