The Direct Admissions Exercise (DAE) allows applicants with other local qualifications to apply for admission to our full-time diploma courses. Admission is based on academic merit and subject to available vacancies of the diploma courses. A-Level graduates who are looking to further their studies in RP can look forward to obtaining a diploma within a shortened timeline. Eligible A-Level graduates can now be exempted from one semester or one year of studies for courses starting in April or October. For more details, click here.
All A-level holders may apply, except for current RP students.
