Suitably qualified candidates are welcome to apply for admission into the BSc.

WHAT ARE TOP-UP PROGRAMS?
Top-Up programs refer to higher education programs that allow students who have completed a diploma or associate degree to earn a bachelor's degree by completing additional coursework. These programs are designed to build upon the knowledge and skills gained from the previous qualification and offer a more advanced level of education.
Top-Up programs are shorter in duration compared to a traditional bachelor's degree program, as students are given credit for the courses they have already completed. This allows them to complete the remaining coursework and earn their bachelor's degree in a shorter time frame.
