• Proof of English proficiency (e.g., IELTS, TOEFL, Pearson)

• Study plan

• Reference letters

• Portfolio (if applicable)

• Applicant’s/sponsor’s bank statement (to assess funding capability)

If you do not have all these documents ready, don’t worry! Our counsellors will guide you on what is needed and how to prepare them properly.
