English Requirement
Most of our accepted applicants have at least 75 on TOEFL, 6.0 on IELTS, or 90 on Duolingo. If you have taken another English test (iTEP, PTE, etc.), please submit the scores and we would be happy to review them. Students whose score is insufficient may still apply for Conditional Admission.
For Applicants wishing for Conditional Admission
Appearing for some form of English exam is required. Students who do not provide sufficient English test scores prior to registration will be given the University’s English Language Assessment Battery (ELAB) test upon arrival. If the ELAB is passed at a satisfactory level, students may begin academic classes. If not, the student will be required to attend the University’s English Language Institute (ELI) until proficiency is reached.
Provide at least one letter of recommendation in English. These letters may be submitted online or may come in a sealed envelope from professors or employers who can attest to the applicant’s accomplishments and potential for success at the undergraduate level. No special form is required.
Submit an original personal statement/essay (250-500 words) CLEARLY explaining why the particular academic program was chosen, what the degree will do for the applicant’s personal and career development, and how such a degree will help them to achieve future goals and aspirations. Please include professional plans for after the program is completed as well.
