Overview
If you’re ready to enroll in short courses as a nondegree-seeking student, take a moment to learn more about the admission requirements and application process. The Department welcomes various types of nondegree students, including:

- Visiting university students, who are enrolled in an undergraduate program at another college or university.
- Learners in their vacation who are yet to join University
Aim
As a nondegree student, you’re part of a unique group of students who have varying reasons for taking accredited UCU short courses.

If you’re an admitted on our short course programme, you’ll earn credit for the courses you take, and they’ll be listed on an official UCU transcript with grades earned.
