The first step when applying to study with us is to apply for admission into a qualification. Once you've been accepted you can apply for enrolment in the courses that make up your qualification.
We recommend you apply as early as you can. In some cases it can take us a few weeks to assess applications. Applying early doesn't commit you to enrolling in courses within your qualification – but if you leave it too late, you might not have enough time to enrol in courses or the courses may be full.
If the due date has passed, apply for the next intake or year.
