- Education: Grade 12 or equivalent at the percentage stated, normally including mathematics and physics.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.0 overall with no band below 5.5; TOEFL iBT 80 with 20 in every section; PTE Academic 53 with no component below 10; or the Duolingo English Test at 110.

- Scholarship: No scholarship is recorded against this programme. Budget the full tuition.
