professional certificates: admisssion requirements

The admissions process consists of an exchange of information between the applicant and the University.

Successful completion of this exchange, including proof the student has met the University’s admission requirements, will result in an invitation to the student to attend the Bergin University of Canine Studies. In the event that a student cannot produce the appropriate documentation, the student will be refused admission unless they can present a valid case as to why this policy should be waived.
