Admission Requirements and Procedure

Admission Requirements and Procedure

The main prerequisite for admission to the Doctoral Program is a sound academic background. Applicants must hold at least a Masters degree or its academic equivalent from a recognized university.

Proficiency in English is absolutely essential to complete the Doctoral Program. Applicants whose previous education has been in a language other than English must submit evidence of proficiency in the English language. A score of at least 550 on the paper based TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) or an equivalent score on an approved alternative test is required.

As a paradigm of the scope of the research a preliminary research proposal must be submitted together with the application form. The modules of the Doctoral Program will take place every three months. Applications should be submitted at least three months before the start of the next module. Selection takes place on an individual basis, based on the participant’s prior academic performance, the fit of the preliminary research proposal with the School’s research programs, and the overall achievements and goals of the applicant.
