Step 1: Start your online application
The application form is to be filled in online. Create your account and you will receive an e-mail with your login and pin number. These are required each time you sign in so don’t lose them! You can fill in the application form at your ease and come back to it at any point.

|
An English test score |
You will need to provide one of the following English proficiency tests as part of your application form :
The English test is not required if you are a native speaker or if the last 2 years of your academic curriculum are taught entirely in English. Tests that have been sat more than 2 years ago will not be accepted. It can take several months to prepare and register for an exam slot, so keep this in mind before starting your application as, without a test score, it will be incomplete.
