Can You Apply for PTPTN If You’re in a Twinning Programme?

Students who wish to earn an overseas degree but can’t seem to be able to afford the exorbitant fees now have an alternative – twinning programmes. Steadily gained traction over the last few years, twinning programmes have rapidly expanded, and now come in various forms. There are 3+1 programmes, 1+3 programmes and even 4+0 programmes. For a detailed break-down of what these numbers mean, click here. Alas, for many the fees are still a step too far. It’s good to know then, that students in twinning programmes can apply for PTPTN. Read on as we explain to just who can apply.

Can you apply for PTPTN if you’re in a Twinning Programme?

Yes, a student in a twinning programme may apply for PTPTN. There is a catch however, one that must be noted prior to applying – PTPTN will only sponsor students for the duration of their studies that are taught locally. This essentially means that in a 3+1 programme, the first 3 years will be sponsored, whereas the final year abroad will not. If it’s a 1+3 programme, then only the first year will be PTPTN applicable. On the flip side, a 4+0 programme would be PTPTN applicable for all four years. Below, you'll find all the courses sponsored by PTPTN.
