How to Apply

The University has not engaged any external agencies to undertake graduate student recruitment on its behalf. Candidates interested in our graduate programmes are advised to apply directly to the University and not through any agents. Candidates who apply through agents will not have any added advantage in gaining admission and the University reserves the right to reject such applications without providing a reason.

Transcripts must be enclosed in an official SEALED envelope with its flap bearing the security seal of the university and the signature of the Registrar or representative. If the transcripts are not in English, they must be accompanied by English translations that have been notarised.

Applicants whose university is unable to provide an original transcript, may submit their transcript to World Education Service for verification. Please check their website here for the application process.
