Frequently asked questions

You apply online through the official website using our Apply Now form. You'll submit your academic transcripts, a valid photo ID, proof of English proficiency (where required), and any programme-specific documents. Once submitted, our admissions team reviews your file and contacts you with the next steps.

International students are asked to demonstrate English proficiency, and some programmes may include an entrance assessment or interview. If you're unsure whether your qualification qualifies, our admissions team can advise on an individual basis.

• Academic transcripts and certificates from previous study
• A valid passport or government-issued photo ID
