Application Information

How to apply

You can apply for any of our programmes by completing an online application. The application takes about 10 to 15 minutes to complete. You can save the form anytime and return to it later. Simply click the 'Save' button at the bottom of the page once you have entered your personal details.

It’s best to have the documents you’ll need for your application ready before you start filling out the application form. Here are the documents you will need:

• Your academic records (English translations required if not in English). This includes your academic transcripts for both secondary and tertiary study, and a copy of your transcripts and final award for your diploma or bachelor’s degree. Include any other applicable qualifications.
• Your official English language test results (if applicable).
• Verified proof of identity – Passport (a copy of the bio page) or Birth Certificate.
• Up-to-date CV, references, a portfolio, or any other additional information to support your application.

You must submit verified documents with your application. A verified document is a photocopy of your original document signed as being a true and accurate copy by one of these positions: Justice of the Peace, Solicitor, Registrar, or Registrar of the Courts. The following needs to be included on the copy for it to be considered a verified copy:

• The words "original sighted".
• Name and signature of the person sighting the original document.
• Date the original was sighted.
• Institution/organisation stamp or handwritten institution/organisation name.
