Your application may be approved if you will meet the points requirement at the end of 2025 S1 assuming you pass all of your 2025 S1 courses, and you currently meet the GPA requirement (this will be looked at, and decided, on a case-by-case basis).
In addition to meeting the eligibility criteria above, students must provide a personal statement when applying for the programme, which will be taken into account in determining who is selected to participate in it. There may also be a limit placed on the number of students who can participate.
