It all starts here...
We understand that applying to study may be a bit daunting so we are here to help make the application process as streamlined as possible.
With any application the most important element is the completeness of the required documentation. While this can be a time consuming process to get it all together we have provided a guide to speed through that process and get you studying as soon as possible.
The application process can vary according to the program you wish to study so its important that you check this on the program page on the website.
All applications are made to the CPEE Higher Education Manager (HEM) via the online application portal (new students) or an offline application form (current or previous students).
