Hi, Your overall score is fine, but you have to improve your score in speaking and writing because most of the colleges ask for 6 bands in each module.

You have scored overall 6 bands, which is good. But, you have 5 bands in writing. So, it is not possible as all the colleges need 6 bands with no less than 5.5 in each module.

Yes, of course, first of all you apply for Diploma course and after Diploma you can get admission in advance Diploma and at last you can get admission in degree. Another option, you can apply direct degree but it is not possible for you because you get only 6 bands.
