Postgraduate:

The general minimum requirement is a 4-year degree with a 2nd class or above (GPA 2.8/5 or more).  We will consider applications with a lower GPA if they also have relevant work experience. Each application will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

English Language requirements:

We accept IELTS, TOEFL, IGCSE  and several other certificates. The required score will depend on your level of entry and your chosen course. Please visit English language requirements for more details. We offer Pre-sessional English language programmes for applicants who do not yet meet the required English level for entry onto our degree courses.
