1. Diploma Requirements

You want to enrol for a full degree (3 years)
You will need to prove that you meet the conditions to start an equivalent course programme in higher education in the country where you obtained your diploma. Please note that candidates with a diploma obtained in a non-EEA member state may be set additional requirements.  If this is the case our admission services will contact you.

Even if you haven't obtained your secondary school diploma yet, you can already submit the application with your transcript of records of the last 2 years of study and a letter from your school confirming your graduation and then send us your diploma once it is ready!

It is simply meant to help you determine whether or not your diploma meets our requirements. Can't find your diploma on the list? No worries, diplomas that are not listed will be assessed individually.

You want to enrol for an abbreviated/one year/short programme
Please check if you meet the additional specific requirements as listed below:

2. Language Requirements
