Why is the change to English entry requirement?
为什么要改变英语入学要求？
It has been found that many international students in the Bachelor of Information Technology (Network Security) are finding it difficult to progress in their course and/or successfully complete, due to insufficient language skills.

By increasing the English language requirement for all packaged students they expect that students entering the TAFE NSW degree pathway will have adequate English skills and this will ensure that the students are able to progress in their course as well as successfully complete the Bachelor degree.

已经发现，许多国际学生由于语言能力不足，很难在他们的信息技术（网络安全）学士学位课程中跟上进度和/或顺利完成。

通过增加对所有组合课程的学生的英语语言要求，他们希望进入TAFE NSW程度升学途径的学生有足够的英语能力，确保学生能跟上课程进度，并顺利完成学士学位。
