Frequently Asked Questions
What is the criteria for being accepted?
Accepted applicants are evaluated based on their entire application, including assessment

Are there any fees apart from the administration fee?
The tuition fee for our programmes starts at $7500. For sponsored applicants, this fee is
waived, and only the administration fee is required.
I want a waiver or scholarship, and I am unable to pay the administration fee.
