Application Process

Entry Criteria
International students are admitted into the level and types of academic programmes based on their academic qualifications in their respective countries. The College usually looks at the equivalence of the Malaysian SPM (equivalent to British GCE O-Level) and STPM (equivalent to the British GCE A-Levels) to determine the appropriate entry level into a programme.

Those with the GCE O-Level or equivalent, will need to enroll in the Foundation programme before proceeding on to degree study. Students with GCE A-Levels or equivalent, may be admitted directly into Year 1 of the degree programmes - an exception is the Art & Design programme, where students are required to complete a Foundation programme in the Art & Design before proceeding to a degree programme. In any case, every application will be assessed based on the criteria and guidelines set by our National Accreditation Board (LAN).
