One in three overseas students granted permanent residency after graduating from an Australian university does not have good enough English to handle a professional job, a study says.

An analysis of government visa testing, the first of its kind, found 34 per cent of 12,116 graduating international students who received permanent residency in 2005-06 did not have the English standard needed to be admitted to university, let alone to be awarded a degree.
