So you have received your confirmation email saying that you have been accepted into the UoM (CONGRATULATIONS!!). There are still a few steps you need to take to finalise your spot here.

This will be a brief guide on what you need to do, but a more detailed guide is provided on our “get ready” and “arrival guide” booklet (please have a look, they are very useful!). Physical copies would have been sent to you as well.

If you are an EU based student (Germany, Italy, etc.), then this is your to do list

    • you can do this when you receive your activation email from UoM(you should receive it around late August)
  • Register online(for more detail please refer to “arrival guide“, pg44 or “get ready”, pg3-5)
    • you can do this anytime between 1 Sept to 30 Sept
    • this will lead you to a fee payment page where you will pay your fee
