Admission through SAT test

You can only choose one application method in your application as a basis for admission, and to submit an application you must include:
A) SAT test score and proof of English language proficiency
or

The SAT is used in admission for the degree programmes in International Business and Mechanical and Sustainable Engineering. The SAT is an international test administered by the College Board. Please read more about the SAT test here. External link
