Applying to DAE (A-Level)

Can I apply?

All A-level holders may apply for your desired full-time diploma courses through the Direct Admissions Exercise (DAE) if you meet the Minimum Entry Requirements (MER).
You may also choose to use your O-Level results or equivalent (e.g., school-based results) to apply for the 3-year diploma courses. For more details, please refer to the O-level qualification page.
Note that meeting the MER is not a guarantee that you will be shortlisted. Shortlisting is based on merit and course availability in the year of application.

Selected courses require additional medical check-up or specific test (e.g., manual dexterity test is required for the Diploma in Oral Health Therapy).
