Frequently Asked Questions — by Tey
1What is the best time to start planning for Australian university intake?
For Australian universities, I recommend starting the planning process at least 12–18 months before your intended intake. Most major intakes are in February (Semester 1) and July (Semester 2). This timeline allows sufficient time for English proficiency preparation, document gathering, and scholarship applications.

2Can Malaysian students apply to UK universities without A-Levels?
Yes. Malaysian students with STPM, UEC, or a recognised Foundation/Diploma qualification are eligible to apply directly to UK undergraduate programmes. Many UK universities also accept SPM with strong results for Foundation Year entry. I help students identify the most suitable entry pathway based on their existing qualifications.

3What IELTS score do I need for top Australian universities?
Most Group of Eight (Go8) universities in Australia require an overall IELTS score of 6.5–7.0, with no individual band below 6.0. Some competitive programmes like Medicine and Law may require 7.0 or above. I work with students to create targeted IELTS preparation plans well ahead of application deadlines.
