Hello. I was wondering if I’m eligible to apply for international foundation program with O’levels credentials only. I haven’t been able to pursue my studies any further after O’ levels due to severe financial crisis. If I’m eligible then I’d like to finish my foundation program and complete my undergraduate degree from here as well. Please do let me know.
