Apply for your qualification
Prepare a complete, legible assessment report. Upload one complete approved assessment report in PDF, JPG or PNG format, up to 4 MB. Do not upload payment-card details, passwords or unrelated personal records.
A University qualification, with no University tuition or qualification fee
Applicants whose qualifications and professional background have been assessed and officially approved by one of the two independent assessment providers listed below may apply to receive the corresponding University qualification free of charge.
The qualification will correspond to the academic level confirmed in the approved assessment, subject to the University’s specialist review of the assessment and the applicant’s information.
No University tuition or qualification fee applies under this route.
You are responsible for obtaining and submitting a valid assessment from an approved provider. Any charges made by that independent provider are separate from the University and are your responsibility.
The two approved assessment providers
- IQVS — International Qualification Verification Service: submit an approved assessment of your qualifications and supporting evidence that confirms the academic level assessed.
- Document Evaluation — Work Experience Equivalency Evaluation: submit the approved work experience equivalency assessment and any accompanying approval.
A provider’s name or logo alone does not establish that a report is genuine or that it confirms an academic level. General document checks, translations and unapproved reports do not establish eligibility for this route.
From application to specialist review
- Enter your details. Use your legal name and an email address you can access. Select the level and enter the subject you are applying for. Your approved assessment must support the requested level and subject.
- Attach your assessment. Select the approved provider and enter its assessment report reference. Upload one complete report, including the required approval.
- Receive confirmation. After your application and files are successfully recorded, an INTIAU acknowledgement will be sent to your email address. Keep the application reference shown on screen.
- Specialist review within seven days. Our specialists will review your application within the next seven days. If the report and your information are confirmed as valid and the application is approved, we will issue your personalised digital University qualification at the corresponding approved academic level.
Automated checks help identify the provider indicated by a report. All applications remain subject to specialist review; an acknowledgement or an automated match is not an approval or a qualification.
Questions about this qualification route
Is the University qualification free?
Yes. No University tuition or qualification fee is charged under this route for an application approved on the basis of a valid assessment from one of the two listed providers. Any independent assessment-provider charges are separate.
Which academic level will the qualification show?
The qualification will correspond to the academic level confirmed in your approved assessment and accepted following the University’s specialist review. Selecting a level in the form does not establish eligibility for that level.
Can I submit a report from a different provider?
INTIAU accepts approved assessments from IQVS and Document Evaluation only. If you already have a report from another provider, submit it to IQVS or Document Evaluation for their own assessment and approval. You must then submit the appropriate approved report from one of these two providers with your INTIAU application. For questions about submitting your application, use the University Contact page.
Does the automatic provider check confirm authenticity?
No. It identifies provider information where a document can be read. Scanned, unreadable, ambiguous or mismatched documents are referred for specialist review. The University checks validity before approval.
When will I hear from INTIAU?
An acknowledgement is requested after your application and files have been successfully saved. Our specialists will review the application within the next seven days and will email you if further information is required. Keep the on-screen application reference if the email is delayed or cannot be sent.
How are my documents handled?
Application files are kept in the University’s private application records, outside the public Media Library, and are available only to authorised administrators. Assessment files are not attached to the acknowledgement email. Read the University privacy policy before applying.
Can I apply in a different subject from my previous qualification?
Yes. If you already hold a qualification in one subject and wish to apply for a qualification in another, you can use this route with an appropriate assessment report and the required approval from IQVS or Document Evaluation. Select the level and enter the new subject in the application form. INTIAU specialists will review whether the approved assessment supports your requested level and subject before any qualification is issued.
