English for Academic Purposes

Completing EAP 4 allows you to move to EAP 5 or enter a TAFE diploma. Completing EAP 5 allows you to progress to EAP 6 or apply to study a bachelor degree, as EAP 5 meets the English language admission requirements for a bachelor degree. Completing EAP 6 meets the English language admission requirements for postgraduate degrees, allowing entry into a Masters or PhD course (minimum pass for Masters; 70% or higher for PhD).
