How to prepare for the admissions assessment

Academic records

We will require a copy of your senior secondary education diploma and transcripts with courses completed and grades received. Provisional transcripts are acceptable for students who have not yet completed their studies and should show the last three years’ results. The transcripts should show all grades received, an explanation of the grading system in English or French and the estimated date of completion.*

CV or resume

In a professional CV format, please provide a detailed record of your academic and/or professional background, including any relevant volunteer work/hobbies etc.

Study & post-study plan

Please use the document template provided to write a short essay describing your ambitions, why you wish to study at Glion and what you will contribute to the institution as a student and alumni. Maximum 300 words, signed and dated.

Passport(s) copy

Please send a legible copy of your passport(s).**

A note about proof of English

The admissions assessment interview allows us to assess a candidate’s English proficiency when the official certificate is not yet available. However, all candidates who require proof of English language level will be required to submit their certificate as it will often be required for the visa process.

* You will be asked to bring your original transcripts and diploma/s with you to registration on campus as admissions will be checking authenticity during induction. If your final transcripts/ diploma are not in English, French, German or Italian, then a notarized/certified English translation is required as well. For London applicants, only final diploma transcripts will be accepted.

** Your passport must be valid for at least six months after the program has started.
