Supporting documents

During the online application process you will be given the option to upload supporting documents alongside the relevant information.

To upload documents:

  • click Browse and locate and  select the file you wish to upload
  • click Open
  • click Upload Selected document.

Once you have uploaded your documents you should check to ensure they have been uploaded correctly and are legible. To preview your uploaded document:

  • select the view option next to the document
  • set open from the file download window

If your document has not uploaded correctly you can select delete to remove the document.

File types and size

You can upload .doc, .docx, .gif, .jpeg, .jpg, .pdf, .txt and .xls* file types.

Documents can be up to 5MB in size. Larger documents will not be uploaded.

Uploading copies of certificates or transcripts

We can progress your application more quickly if you upload copies of certificates or transcripts for qualifications listed on your application.

You may upload a maximum of eight relevant, qualification related documents. If possible, individual certificates/transcripts should be collated and uploaded as one document (up to 5MB in size).

Adding documents later

During your application you can choose to save your application and come back to complete it later by selecting save and return later.

If you are unable to upload all the relevant documents before you submit your application you can log into the online application service at a later date and add them. Once you have submitted your application you will be sent an email explaining how to access this service.

If you are unable to upload documents electronically then you may send copies by post. Please do not send originals as they will not be returned.
