 Frequently Asked Questions

What is the criteria for being accepted?

Accepted applicants are evaluated based on their entire application, including assessment
scores and essay responses. While the outcome may not always meet expectations, we
encourage self-reflection, identifying areas for improvement, and ongoing skill
development. For future programme applications, please revisit our website during the next
cycle.

I applied and received confirmation, but I haven't received an acceptance letter.

The confirmed button in your email indicates your acceptance.

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.

Regrettably, we cannot accommodate this request presently. The administration fee
supports programme access, study materials, community engagement, networking, and
certification. Paying it demonstrates commitment and ensures access to all resources and
support for success.

How do I make payment?

All payments can be made via the admissions portal.

I accidentally dropped a programme, and now I can’t continue the application.

Unfortunately, dropped applications cannot be continued. You will need to apply to another
programme or use a different email address.
