An advisor will then discuss your chosen course and review your qualifications with you.

If you meet the minimum admission requirements, you will receive an Offer in Principle via email within 48 hours of your consultation—typically completed within an hour.
​
Step 2: English Language Requirements
​
-
If you do not have a certified qualification demonstrating the required level of English proficiency, you will need to pass our English language screening test.

This supervised assessment will evaluate your reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills.
-
Depending on your results, you may be required to take pre-sessional lessons and pass a final English exam before enrolling in your chosen course.

After submitting your application for your chosen course, our admissions team will review it to ensure it is complete and that you meet the eligibility criteria for enrollment.
If your application meets the entry requirements, you will be invited to a web interview with a member of our academic team. These interviews, lasting approximately 30 minutes, assess:
​
-
Your educational and/or professional background
-
Your readiness and motivation for the course
-
Your understanding of the subject, industry, and related career opportunities

As part of our commitment to quality, all eligible applicants must complete an interview. If you are applying through the Standard Entry route (Academic Achievement), the interviewer will discuss your educational background and how the course aligns with your professional or career aspirations.
