Entrance Requirements

Applicants should normally hold a Master’s degree in the relevant policy studies field. Shortlisted applicants will be interviewed.

Applicants whose entrance qualification is obtained from an institution where the medium of instruction is not English should fulfill the following minimum English proficiency requirement:

  • a band score of 6.5 or above in the International English Language Testing System (IELTS); or
  • a minimum score of 550 (paper based test) or 79 (Internet-based test) in the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL); or
  • an equivalent score in a recognised test. An equivalent qualification to prove the applicant’s language proficiency may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
