• Enrolment

  VIA University College expects international students applying to take a portion of their degree course at VIA University College to have already completed part of their degree course at their home university. This would be the first year of a B.Sc. 
  
  We work in close cooperation with the students’ home university to ensure that each course the student completes successfully at VIA University College is credited at the home university. 
  
  It is mandatory to provide a negative MRSA test and an unblemished criminal record.
