This is a competitive admission program. You'll be required to write an entrance test. Your test will be evaluated by program faculty and assigned a score that reflects your potential for success in the program.

If your test score is within the acceptable range, you will be invited to attend an interview with program faculty. If your test score does not fall within the acceptable range, your application will be cancelled. Offers of admittance will be made to qualified applicants based on test and interview scores in descending order until all available seats are filled. This means not all applicants whose test and interview scores fall within the acceptable range will be offered a seat. 

Applicants who are not offered a seat may reapply for a future intake by submitting a new application and application fee and completing the admission test for the application year.
