Have your supporting documents to hand, and ensure they meet our guidelines. The documents may include certified copies of your qualifications, proof of English language proficiency and supplementary forms for certain courses.
If your documents are not issued in English, translation from a recognised translation service must be provided.
Recognised translation services
*Official translations are subject to review.
If you have undertaken previous study or work that matches the content of some of your Curtin course units, you may be able to obtain credit for recognised learning, which exempts you from studying those units.
English language proficiency
You must provide your test score in one of our recognised English tests, such as IELTS, PTE, TOEFL, CAE or OET, and a copy of your passport photo page.
If you do not have an English test score, you can request to take our online placement test called Password* to determine your current level of English.
- Accessing our free Password test is only possible if you are using a Curtin registered agent.
- Agents can request a Password test on your behalf by contacting us via this form.
- If you have problems contacting a representative/agent in your region, please contact us.
*Password is not a proficiency test and cannot be used to meet the English proficiency requirements of Curtin’s degree courses. However, the test will help you determine which Curtin English course(s) you need to complete before you can start your degree course
When you don’t meet the English language proficiency requirements
If you have not yet achieved the required English proficiency level for your degree, consider studying at Curtin English to get to the level you need to start your degree.
You can apply for a Curtin English pathway at the same time as you apply for your degree and receive a conditional offer that packages your degree course with your Curtin English pathway.
