📝 How to Apply
Read the entry requirements and prepare documents
Check the official programme entry requirements for international applicants, including academic qualifications and any mathematics prerequisite where applicable. Prepare your passport and certified academic documents, and also arrange English proficiency proof if applicable to your admission route. If you are unsure whether your previous qualifications are suitable, review SEGi’s international student procedure and start your application preparation early.
Submit your international application through SEGi’s process
Complete the international student application with the required form and attach the supporting documents SEGi requests for international admissions. The international admissions procedure states that relevant documents (application form, academic transcripts or certificates, full passport copy, and other items) are submitted for processing. If your route involves interview and/or portfolio assessment, make sure your portfolio and details are ready as requested by SEGi.
Pay the international application and visa processing fee
After your documents are assessed for eligibility, SEGi requires applicants to make the admission and international student visa application fee payment as part of the next step. SEGi’s international student procedure states a single fee amount for application and student visa processing (subject to change). Keep your payment proof, as it is needed to proceed with the offer and visa processing steps.
Wait for assessment and follow the offer letter and EMGS workflow
SEGi’s international student procedure includes an assessment and approval stage by the Registry to determine eligibility into the preferred programme. Once eligible, the process moves to offer letter and onward visa processing, with SEGi’s international office submitting documents to EMGS for visa processing. Track communication from SEGi and respond quickly to any document requests so your visa timeline stays on track.
