Does AMET charge for this service?
No. AMET’s application service for The Gordon is free. You pay only tuition fees, Overseas Student Health Cover and the government visa fee directly.
Which 2027 intake should I choose?
Most students start in the first intake (Feb 2027) or the mid-year intake (Jul 2027). Register at least 3–4 months before your preferred start so there is time for your offer, CoE and student visa.
Can I work while I study?
