The Student is allowed to apply for either any combination of or all levels, but they should be in the appropriate fields, i.e. no Diploma Codes in the Degree area or vice versa, these choices will be disregarded.

The student should only apply for programmes they will be comfortable pursuing if they are placed to them. No field is mandatory.

If a student will not be applying, do not enter anything in the fields, leave the choice cells blank and only fill the contact details.

Choices 1a-1c should be the same programme in different institutions, in cases where the programme only exists in one or two institution/s please enter only the one/s available and skip the other. Do NOT fill the gap with another unrelated option as it will be disregarded at upload.
