If you are a graduating student in the current academic year, you may apply using your latest results. Eligible applicants may receive a Conditional Offer, which will be confirmed upon submission of proof of completion of your studies at a Polytechnic or the Institute of Technical Education (ITE).

Who is eligible?

How does it work?

  • Submit a Letter of Certification (or equivalent) issued by your institution as proof that you are in your final semester of studies.

  • If eligible, you will receive a Conditional Offer, pending submission of final results.

  • Applicants with a Conditional Offer must submit proof of completion via the STEP student portal.

  • Once the admission criteria are met, an Official Offer Letter will be issued.

  • If the criteria are not met, the Conditional Offer will be revoked.

  • Applicants will be notified via email on how to submit final documents (results or Letter of Certification for completion).

Applicants who do not meet the entry requirements may be considered for admission to the course based on supporting evidence of competency readiness. Suitable applicants who are shortlisted will have to go through an interview and/or entrance test.
