Tips for Meeting the Requirement
- 1ANU requires IELTS 6.5 overall with 6.0 in each band. Since the scholarship is awarded automatically based on merit, a stronger IELTS score contributes to the overall strength of your application.
- 2Practice all four IELTS components evenly. The 6.0 minimum per band means a weakness in any single area could disqualify you, even if your overall score is above 6.5.
- 3ANU has a long application window (October–May). Take IELTS early in this period and apply as soon as your scores are ready — scholarship funding may be more available in earlier admission rounds.
