3. Preference
Other things being equal, preference will be given to a student who would not otherwise have access to such an experience or who would gain the most from the opportunity. Therefore, students from rural areas and students from disadvantaged backgrounds are encouraged to apply for this program.
We do not require any certificates of English proficiency or any other qualifications. However, successful candidates should be able to communicate effectively in English.
Please note that you are only allowed to submit one application per academic year to study at UWC, even if you are eligible to apply via more than one UWC national committee.
We look forward to receiving your application and helping you embark on this life-changing journey!
