REQUIREMENTS FOR ENTRY

Entry requirements are the minimum academic standards that the University requires before considering you for admission to one of our degree programs. Even if you meet the requirements, a spot is not a guarantee. The majority of our degrees are extremely competitive, and demand for spots frequently outpaces supply. Final selection is based on available space, academic standing, and any additional entry requirements that may apply.
