  • Check accepted tests, minimum scores, score validity and any waiver conditions for the specific programme.

General planning

Intake & application plan

  • Choose your preferred study year and start term, then work backwards through application and document deadlines.
  • Keep admission, scholarship, deposit and immigration dates separate; a course start month is not an application deadline.

General planning

Your complete study budget

  • Allow for accommodation, daily living, insurance, travel, deposits, study materials and application or immigration charges.

General planning

Scholarships & finance

  • Explore institution, programme, government and external funding that matches your applicant profile.
  • Check award eligibility, deadlines, coverage and renewal conditions; neither a scholarship nor a loan is guaranteed.

General planning

Documents to prepare

  • Start with transcripts and qualification certificates, then add a CV, statement, references or portfolio where requested.
  • Check identity documents, translations, certification and financial evidence required for your chosen application route.
