Admission

Application requirements

English level

To provide proof of your English proficiency you need to obtain a minimum score on the IELTS exam (or equivalent English proficiency exam). This minimum score varies depending on the bachelor programme you will enrol in after the Foundation Programme; either a 5.5 or 6 with no sub-score less than 5.

Applicants must have a high school diploma with excellent grades. Depending on the chosen bachelor's programme, specific subject requirements can apply (e.g. mathematics, physics, biology or history).

Mathematics

All our students, regardless of their chosen track, need to pass at least the basic Foundation Programme mathematics course. Having successfully taken mathematics in high school is therefore necessary.
