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 : TOEIC (listening and reading): 850 TOEFL iBT: 90 IELTS (Academic): 6.5 Cambridge (FCE): 175 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.
