What IELTS score do you need for Edith Cowan College?

For Foundation and diploma entry, ECC lists Duolingo 95 and Versant 50 for selected countries only, plus Linguaskill 160, CEFR B2 and school English results such as WAEC or NECO C6. To move from the nursing diploma into the ECU degree, you need IELTS 7.0 with 7.0 in listening, reading and speaking and 6.5 in writing, or PTE Academic 63 (L58 R59 S76 W60) for tests after 23 April 2026.

The page notes that its standard table lists the Post-Graduate Qualifying Program at 6.0 while its Social Work table lists 6.5, so confirm which applies to you. It does not state a test validity period.

If you do not meet the requirement, you can apply for ECC's Academic English Program, though not every course can be packaged with it. You can send your results to ECC admissions for an assessment of how many weeks you need.

Requirements vary by course and can change between intakes. The score that binds you is the one on your Edith Cowan College course page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test. Your student visa is assessed separately, under the Department of Home Affairs Student visa (subclass 500) rules.
