If the student has to attend our English language foundation course he/she will be made a conditional offer.

Step 4 Enrolment

Acceptance of an offer of enrolment into a course of study is completed once the University has received full payment of the enrolment fee.

If the applicant decides to make a firm acceptance of the offer, then the payment of the Enrolment Fee is due during 30 working days following the receipt of the offer.
Upon receipt of payment confirmation sent to us by fax or e-mail the admission process is fully completed and shortly the student receives a confirmation in the enrolment letter. Enrolment fees are accepted according to a strict chronological order of receipt of payment until that time when the number of available student slots is completed.

In the case of non-European students we first issue the Acceptance Letter necessary for visa purposes and only when the student obtains the visa he/she is required to pay the Enrolment Fee.
