When you are ready, complete the guided online application form. Upload academic transcripts, passport copy, and any supporting documents requested for your chosen programme. You receive a reference number immediately — keep it safe for tracking.

Helpful tips

  • Apply to your top-choice programme first; counselors can advise on backups.
