- facilitation of recognition or credit of prior study or work experience for entry into the University’s courses;
- clear and consistent selection requirements that are appropriate to the level of the relevant course within the Somaliland Qualifications Framework; and
- Clear and consistent information for applicants of non-academic requirements for entry, including regulatory requirements, Police checks and Working with Children checks, where required.
