English requirements:

100% of classes are in English, and we require all students to have high English proficiency levels. You’ll need to read academic material, interpret, discuss and present in fluent, well-articulated English. We assess your language proficiency during your admissions interview.

If we’re in doubt, you may need to complete the proficiency test. If you have a proficiency certificate from either TOEFL, IELTS, Pearson’s PTE, Cambridge, or SATs, this will strengthen your application and you’re welcome to upload it.

Other requirements

General requirements

Our admission process is a holistic review of each student’s preparedness level for higher studies and potential for a successful career.
While we are highly selective we do not base the decision on the review of the grades and transcripts alone. We believe that grades and standardised test results are sometimes not fully indicative of a student’s ability to work on a project and to innovate. We consider the overall certificates, transcript, motivation and recommendation letters as well as awards, achievements and extracurricular activities. One of the crucial parts of the student’s application is the project proposal.
All our technical degree programmes (Computer Science, Data Science and Cyber Security) require a strong foundational knowledge of mathematics. If your Maths level is not sufficient, you may first join an intensive, one year preparatory Math as a Second Language (MSL) course.
