Admission process in Cothm College

1. GENERAL ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

​

The criteria for admission have been prepared to enable the Admissions Office to select students who have potential to do college-level work and to place students in courses and programs appropriate to the student’s academic preparation, in an effort to help them successfully realize their academic potential.

The students come from many different countries and bring with them a wide range of academic disciplines, experiences, special interests, talents and cultural heritages. The Admissions Office aims to form a student body, which will give the opportunity to each student to share education and grow in experience as a member of an international community.

In general, all applicants must have completed a secondary (high) school education or the equivalent of twelve years of schooling to be considered for admission. The College recognizes a strong academic performance at high school level as the primary determinant for college level success.
