If you are from China, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan or Sri Lanka, the Australian Government requires you to provide an IELTS test result when applying for a student visa. A TOEFL test result is not acceptable.

You can have your TOEFL results sent directly to QUT by quoting 9778, the TOEFL institution code when you register for the test.

IELTS and TOEFL test scores must be undertaken 2 years or less from the time of your course commencement at QUT. Tests are often heavily booked so you should plan early.
