ACCELERATED UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSION
Already Beyond the Starting Line? Direct Entry Brings You In at Year Two.
Direct Entry (DE) admission allows qualified applicants to bypass Year One of a Bachelor's degree programme and begin directly at the second year of study. This pathway is designed for students who have already demonstrated a higher level of academic attainment through an A-Level qualification or a diploma from a recognised institution.
At Ruona University, Direct Entry is a recognition of the work you have already done, and an invitation to accelerate your journey toward a full Bachelor's degree without repeating ground you have already covered.
