You are advised to sit for the QET in your first year of study and to complete the English courses (if needed) early so that there will be no delay in your graduation.

Unless exemption has been granted, all international graduate students are required to sit for the Diagnostic English Test (DET). The purpose of the DET is to determine which students are required to read additional Graduate English courses. Please click on the links below for the following information:
