Students who benefit from this program will be charged an additional fee.

Direct entry into the second year may be possible for students with appropriate qualifications. For the bachelor's degree, candidates should have a higher diploma in a relevant field and English level equivalent to TOEFL iBT 65 or IELTS 5.5 (bridging or complementary courses might be required).
