Admission requirements

Who can apply (guide for Indian students):

  • Education: Completed Class 12 (10+2) from a recognised board (CBSE, ICSE or State board) with good overall marks.
  • Subjects: You should have studied English and Mathematics in Class 12.
  • English test (any one): IELTS Academic 6.5 overall (no band below 6.0), PTE Academic 60, TOEFL iBT 86, or Duolingo 120.

Easy pathway: Most Indian students join through a “bundle” — first the related 2-year diploma, then the 2-year degree (4 years total). Diploma graduates with about 67% (C+) can enter the degree directly in the third year.
