Qualifications

A Levels and IB are accepted but don’t assume HSC is accepted everywhere. A Foundation Course may be needed, but not all Foundation courses are the same.

Competition

Admissions Tests, Interviews & English Tests

You will need to pass tests and interviews before starting your course. We can help you to prepare.

Apply Early for Scholarships

Funding opportunities exist but there is competition so don’t miss out. We can help you find and apply for them.
