INDIA
India has traditionally been seen as a country that sends rather than receives international students, but a growing number of students from elsewhere are now choosing to study in India. There are thousands of colleges and universities in India to choose from, of many different types, sizes, specializations and origins, some state-run, others private. Amongst the thousand universities, University of Delhi, the University of Mumbai, the University of Calcutta and Banaras Hindu University are some of the popular universities, Africans troop into for quality education and guess what? These universities do not require English language proficiency for their Undergraduate, Masters, PhD and Postdoctoral taught courses. The teaching language at most Indian universities is English especially in management, scientific and technical subjects
Most international students in India do not have to take entrance tests but will receive preferential treatment. Generally, interested students are required to present a higher education entrance qualification. Students will be accepted to a university on the basis of their higher education entrance qualification. In return the students have to pay higher fees, which explains the special treatment.
The need for IELTS/TOEFL scores as an admisssion requirement in Indian universities is absent for now.
AUSTRALIA
Universities in Australia occasionally overlook the need of TOEFL/IELTS scores if the student’s secondary school language of instruction was English, or if they have completed few years of studies in an English speaking country. Also, certain graduate universities may admit students without a TOEL/IELTS score if authorities from their undergraduate university can certify that their medium of instruction was English.
Here are a few Universities that may admit students without TOEFL/IELTS
1) Swinburne University of Technology: In Swinburne University of Technology, international students don’t need to have IELTS/TOEFL scores provided they study English at the Swinburne English Language Centre, or if they have had English as their language of instruction in their previous education. The university offers undergraduate and graduate courses in Business Administration and Management, Technology, Science, Marketing, Commerce, Accounting, etc.
2) The University of Queensland: International students without an IELTS/TOEFL score may be admitted if they have completed full-time course where they had English as their medium of instruction, or if they have worked in an English-speaking professional environment for a minimum of 5 years.
