Applications are assessed based on:

• Admission from recognised institutions
• Financial capability (strict yearly requirement)
• Genuine student intent
• Complete and accurate documentation

Students are typically allowed to work part-time (up to 20 hours per week during studies and full-time during holidays).

Due to the high cost of living and strict financial requirements, proper financial planning is essential.
