Before You Apply: Essential Preparation Steps
Before starting your application, make sure you are fully prepared by following these two important steps:
Please see our International Admission Policy for full details of the application process including eligibility criteria, required documentation, deadlines, and how to submit your documents.
If we need any additional information you have not provided, we’ll reach out via the email provided in your application.
To ensure a smooth application process, please upload all required supporting documents before submitting your application.
If we need any additional details beyond your uploaded documents, we’ll reach out via the email provided in your application.
Your personal statement is one of the most important parts of your application. It is your chance to tell your story, explain your goals, and show why you are a great fit for our institution. Submitted as part of your application, it should explain why you are passionate about your chosen course, what makes you a strong candidate, and what you hope to gain from the course.
What Happens After You Apply:
We will assess your application. If we request any further information, please follow the instructions in the email sent to you by the admissions team and upload the necessary documents (if any) directly to the link provided in the email. This is the fastest way to process your application.
Once your application is approved, the next step is an interview to assess your suitability for the course.
What to expect in the interview:
✔️ Identity verification (ID check and screenshot)
✔️ Questions about your study intentions, background, education, and work experience (if applicable)
📢 After the interview:
- If successful, you will receive a conditional offer to study at TEC.
Upon receiving your Conditional Offer Letter, you will be required to formally accept the offer by completing the Offer Acceptance Form.
To progress to an Unconditional Offer, you must fulfil all conditions outlined in the Conditional Offer Letter. Only upon meeting these requirements will the Unconditional Offer Letter be issued.
As an international student, you will need to make an advance payment of fees when you have accepted your offer to study at TEC through a secure link of Flywire payments. You will then need to pay your tuition fees in full, or have an agreement to pay in two further installments, before the start date of your course.
