Applications closed on 20 September and the admissions office are finalizing all applications. The acceptance letters are being sent out as the applications are processed course by course. This process will be concluded by the 30th September. Acceptance offers for Forms B,C,D have all been sent.

When will I receive my time-table?

Students at levels 3 to 6 started lectures from, 4 October. You should have received the acceptance letter and timetable if you applied on time with all the required documents. If not, please check with your institute.

If you submitted a late application or did not submit all the required documents, your application is still being processed. Once your application is accepted, you will receive the timetable.

Students at levels 1 and 2 will start lessons from 11 October and will receive timetables in the coming days.

Will there be a meeting for new students?

Can I apply for a course after the 20th September closing date?

Late applications for courses starting this October will be accepted from Wednesday, 29 September, to Friday, 1 October. Applications will be open only for courses where places are still available.

The admissions office will process late applications and inform applicants if they have been accepted. Priority will be given to applications received by 20 September. Courses start from 4 October, and therefore this is the final opportunity to apply for this year’s programmes.

I applied for a course but would now like to change to another program. Can I do this?
