Our Admissions team will send you an email if you need to complete a GTE assessment as part of your application process. The email will direct you to a form that you must complete.

You’ll receive your offer to study at the same time, but you won’t be able to accept it until the GTE assessment is completed and we confirm in writing that you can accept.
