Definition
How "accepting IELTS 6.0" is counted
A university is listed when its published minimum overall IELTS Academic band for undergraduate or postgraduate entry (at least one of the two) is 6.0 or lower, as recorded in its BandLadder guide from the university's own admissions pages.
Per-skill minimums are shown only where the guide states one uniform figure for every skill. Pathway, foundation, pre-sessional and "recommended" scores are not counted. The full method and the CSV of all universities are on the university requirements data page.
