Practical tips for applicants

• Decide early which university degree/course you intend to pursue via Direct Entry and choose IJMB subjects that match that faculty’s entry requirements.
• If you lack credit in Mathematics or English, plan remedial study time during the IJMB year — the programme allows you to sit for these papers.
• Keep copies of all payment receipts and your completed application form.
• Contact the provided phone number for deadline dates, interview schedules (if any) and any additional instructions from the school.
