Applicants whose native tongue and medium of university instruction is not English should submit the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or International English Language Testing System (IELTS) as evidence of their proficiency in the English language.<\/p>\nThe following minimum TOEFL score is required:
\n– 85 for the internet-based test (with a minimum score of 22 for the writing section); or
\n– 237 for the computer-based test.
\nAlternatively, an IELTS result of 6.0 is required.\n
Applicants whose undergraduate studies was in English but is not a native speaker of English are encouraged to submit TOEFL\/IELTS score report. If not, we suggest that you submit a request note for a waiver of the TOEFL\/IELTS requirement along with supporting document (if any) for the Master of Economics Committee’s consideration.<\/p>\n
Some successful candidates may still be required to take the Diagnostic English Test at our University and, where necessary, attend the Graduate English Course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
