Admission Requirements

Curious about what comes next? Here’s how admissions work at Alba.

Candidates need to submit the online application.

All candidates will be asked to go through a personal online interview.

Alba accepts applications all year round & candidates are encouraged to apply as soon as possible. However, applications received after the beginning of the program will not be reviewed for the current intake, but will certainly be reviewed for next year's intake. Admission to the program is determined through evaluations conducted by the admissions office, faculty, and academic program coordinators. Decisions are based on academic qualifications and performance, English language proficiency, application essays, letters of recommendation, interview results, and any additional program-specific requirements.

Applicant Grievance Procedure

A. Purpose
The purpose of the Applicant Grievance Procedure is to provide an open and fair process for both applicants and the admissions staff. It is an opportunity for applicants to raise matters of concern and for the College to resolve timely and effectively complaints about the admissions process.

B. General Principles

Any individual who has submitted an application for undergraduate or graduate studies may invoke the Applicant Grievance Procedure, which sets out how they may raise a complaint about the admission process.
ACG ensures that all grievances are handled promptly, with fairness and consistency. ACG does not discriminate against any applicant who makes a complaint. All grievances are dealt with confidentially.
Every effort is made to resolve an applicant’s grievance amicably and to the satisfaction of all concerned without the necessity of a formal complaint. Applicants whose grievances cannot be resolved informally or who wish to appeal an admissions decision should follow the procedure for a formal complaint or appeal.

C. Procedure for formal complaint / appeal

All grievances must be addressed on an individual basis to the respective Associate Vice President of Admissions (contact details here).
All grievances must be submitted in writing, clearly stating the applicant’s complaint, and supported by specific facts. In addition, the applicant’s full name and contact information should be included.
An applicant can submit a grievance within ten (10) working days of the action causing concern.
The Associate Vice President acknowledges receipt of the complaint and then investigates the complaint with relevant staff and /or a third party, if deemed necessary. The Associate Vice President provides a final response within fourteen (14) working days.
In case the applicant is dissatisfied with the respective Associate Vice President's decision and wishes to pursue the matter further, he/she can submit a formal appeal to the respective Vice President.
The Vice President’s decision following completion of such process is considered final.
