Eligibility
Academic Entry Requirements
The primary entry requirements suppose that every applicant has completed the equivalent of 16 years of education, including graduating from a university program.
English language requirements (for both Master’s and Doctoral Programs):
You must meet the minimum required score in place to ensure your level of English proficiency. To confirm which tests we accept and the applicable minimum scores, please check our “application checklist”.
You can be exempt from having to show your English proficiency if you are from a native-English speaking country or have completed your degree in English.
Pre-application Review
All graduate school applicants must go through pre- application review via the KUAS Online Application System before applying. If you have multiple research interests, it is possible to select more than one supervisor (only applicable to the Master’s Program). However, be aware that you must write a separate research plan for each proposal, and that you have to settle on one supervisor and research topic eventually. Please see the Application Guidelines for more details.
