Admission Requirements

Academic Requirements

Admission is decided by the Graduate Admissions Committee rather than by a potential research supervisor. Only after being admitted and then completing two semesters of courses, do you join a research group. Therefore, applications should not be directed to individual faculty members, but submitted according to the instructions below.The Graduate Admissions Committee considers many factors in their decision: GPA, GRE, TOEFL/IELTS scores, letters of recommendation, statement of purpose, classes taken and grades of those classes. An applicant that may be marginal in one area may excel in another. This is taken into account.

English Proficiency: IELTS 7 or equivalent.
