Before submitting an application
Before choosing a programme, check the exact course title, study level, intake and current tuition on the institution's official source. A typical file begins with a passport, academic transcripts, qualifications and language results when the programme requires them. Translation or certification should only be arranged against the stated requirement, avoiding unnecessary cost. M2W and a vetted advisory partner review the file for completeness, compare the details with the institution and identify anything that still needs to be supplied. The institution makes the final admissions decision. Visa processing is a separate step, and neither admission nor a visa outcome can be guaranteed in advance. Applicants should keep copies of every submitted document and monitor requests through their M2W account.
