Is this "provisional offer" by any chance an actual offer?

[KJH]

Hey guys! I've applied to a PhD program at NUS for 2021/22 and received this following email. 

Do you think it's safe to say that this mean I've been accepted, or is it merely indicating that the process is far from over?

This school has always been my dream destination, and the suspense of waiting for the result is killing me...
