Why Educational Gaps Matter
Certain educational institutions have specific requirements regarding gaps in education, especially for applicants from certain countries. Educational gaps of a certain length may affect your eligibility for admission, as some schools require applicants to show continuous education or work experience. If your gap exceeds the allowed timeframe, it could result in your application being considered incomplete or ineligible.
Filling the Gap
To address an educational gap, applicants need to fill the gap with either:
Educational Qualifications: Additional studies, certifications, or courses.
Relevant Work Experience: Professional experience related to your field of study or the program you're applying for.
Filling the gap with either of these options can help demonstrate your commitment to continuing your education or your professional development, making you a more competitive candidate.
What Happens If You Miss the Gap Requirement?
If your gap exceeds the permitted timeframe and you haven’t filled it with relevant education or work experience, your application may not be eligible for the desired program. The system will notify you of any eligibility issues once you’ve submitted your application.
