Do I need to take IELTS or TOEFL to study PhD in Australia?

The first is to look at the accreditation of specific institutions. It is not a day or two to implement mutual recognition from the national level to the inter-agency mutual recognition. This requires a process. Students must first find out what kind of language test scores they intend to report.

Secondly, consider the choice according to the purpose of studying abroad. If students plan to study in countries with Commonwealth education system, it is recommended to apply for IELTS; If you are studying in a North American system country, it is recommended to apply for TOEFL. If students plan to attend high school in Australia and then go to American universities for undergraduate or postgraduate studies, with the goal of getting scholarships or applying to top American universities, then taking TOEFL and preparing for other exams in the same system, such as sat, gre and gmat, can better cope with everything.

Australian Immigration Minister ChrisBowen recently announced that Australia accepts three standard language tests (TOEFL, PTE Academic and CAE) in addition to IELTS, and all four test results can be used to apply for an Australian study visa. TOEFL allows students all over the world to apply for Australian visas and universities at the same time. PTE Academic English (Forum) Test (PTE Academic) and Cambridge Advanced English Test (CAE) will be added to the language test for applying for student visa as stipulated in the current immigration regulations 1994. The government expects that from the second half of this year, these new language tests will be accepted by Australian visa applications.

At present, IELTS is mainly recommended by the Australian Immigration Department (DIAC) to examine the English level of students studying in Australia. TOEFL, PTE Academic and CAE are recognized by the Australian government, which indicates that the internationalization of Australian education has entered a new stage.
