Our admissions standards are high and competition for the limited number of positions is rigorous.
Admission is based on an evaluation of both an applicant's academic profile and research potential.
This is particularly important for international students. An on-line application speeds the process while allowing you to avoid the need for sending in a fee with your application. Whichever mechanism you use to submit your application, your personal statement and official transcripts needs to be mailed to us in hardcopy form. Letters of recommendation should be filled out on the downloadable forms and mailed to us by the recommenders. For complete information about the application process, requirements, financial aid, etc., see our School of Computing handbook .
