Admissions

Our focus is excellence. Therefore, only a small number of students will be admitted to the PhD programme. Our programme is rigorous and it takes three to five years to complete on a full-time basis.

The academic year starts in July and applications for entrance should be received no later than January 10 the same year. Late applications may affect acceptance, and incomplete applications will not be considered. The application package consists of:

	Application form;
	Official transcripts of undergraduate and masters’ work;

	Two letters of recommendation from academic sources; (If the applicant has been away from the academic environment for a significant period, non-academic references may be considered)
	Official GMAT / GRE / TOEFL scores; and
	Any other supporting documents.

All applications are reviewed for academic vigour and relevance of the proposed research topic. An interview may be required. Candidates will be notified of the admission decision as soon as it is reached.
