The general entry qualifications for admission to the Ph.D. programmes are:
a good bachelor’s degree in areas related to physical sciences, life sciences or   engineering including (but not necessarily restricted to) bioengineering, material   science, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering.

good GRE/GATE (for Indian applicants) and TOEFL scores. In countries where   GRE/GATE and TOEFL are unavailable, representatives from the School may travel to   these countries to conduct Technical Proficiency Tests and interviews with potential   candidates.

The University offers attractive research scholarships to candidates with outstanding academic results pursuing full-time doctoral program.

The scholarship covers the research fees and other university-related fees and includes a monthly stipend.
