English Requirements

WesternIC teaches in English, so you will need to show that you meet our English proficiency requirement to be admitted. You can meet this requirement by achieving one of the scores outlined in the tables below. Individual band scores also apply.

Professional Master’s English Entry Requirements for Pathway Entry

If you meet both English language and relevant academic requirements, you will not need to take English Boost during your first term. Additionally, you will be eligible to enrol in a 0.5-credit graduate-level academic course in your first term.
