The goal of the admissions process is to select a diverse student body that complies with appropriate qualification standards expected for the levels of the program's courses.
The entire process is completed online.
After completing and submitting the application and background documents, applicants will be called for a personal interview via Skype to verify the motives of their application, their professional experience, and their communication and social skills.
The Full-Time program begins each year in March. The application season begins in May of the preceding year.
The extended version begins in March and August and the admission process begins in May and October, respectively.
The extended version's tuition can be paid in up to 20 instalments, while the Full-Time version can be paid in 12 instalments, which must be documented by the student at the time of enrolment.
Foreign students residing in other countries without a scholarship have a 15% tuition discount.
