In Australia, school education lasts longer than 11 years, so it is not possible to enroll in a bachelor's program immediately after school. First, you need to eliminate the academic difference with the help of one of the preparatory programs (A-Levels, Foundation, etc.). The second option is to study for a year at a university in your native country. Before applying, you need to pass the IELTS, PTE or TOEFL exam. The minimum IELTS score is 6. The TOEFL score is not lower than 55. Applicants will need a subject exam — A-Level.
