Equivalent Admission Requirements

If you attended a postsecondary institution in another country, you must prove that your educational standing is equivalent to the academic admission requirements.

Since Talk School programs are about seeking specialization in a professional field, weights are assigned to graduate, post graduate, voluntary work experience holders and working professionals in that order.

All activities (lectures, seminars, laboratories) at Talk School are conducted in English. It is essential that all students possess the writing and speaking skills necessary to cope with the rigors of the curriculum and successfully complete the work placement components of the programs. Therefore, if your first language is not English, or if your previous education has been conducted in another language, you will be required to demonstrate proficiency in English and fulfil the English admission requirement.

Students may be referred to our English upgrading program to improve their language skills before being admitted to the program of their choice.
