18      Admission having regard to minimum admission requirements

(1)    The Delegated Authority may, under this subsection, admit the applicant to the program for the research award if satisfied that the applicant meets the following requirements (the admission requirements):

(a)    the minimum qualification requirement applying to the program under section 12 (Minimum qualification requirement: doctoral programs) or section 13 (Minimum qualification requirement: Master of Philosophy);

(b)    the English language and other requirements (if any) determined for admission to the program under section 14 (English language and other program requirements).

(2)    To remove any doubt, the Delegated Authority is not obliged to admit the applicant to the program under subsection (1) even if the Delegated Authority is satisfied that the applicant meets the admission requirements.

(3)    Despite subsection (1), the Delegated Authority must refuse to admit the applicant to the program under that subsection if the admission of the applicant to the program would result in the number of students being admitted to the program in any period exceeding the maximum number of students determined under section 15 (Limits on places in programs) for the program for the period.

(4)    Also, despite subsection (1), the Delegated Authority:

(a)    may admit the applicant to the program under this subsection even though the Delegated Authority is not satisfied that the applicant meets the admission requirements; but

(b)    if the Delegated Authority admits the applicant to the program under this subsection, the Delegated Authority may impose conditions on the applicant's admission to the program.

(5)    This section is subject to section 20 (False or misleading statements in applications for admission etc.).
