- hold a Bachelor’s degree or equivalent from a recognized institution (to enter MSc)
- hold a Master’s degree or equivalent from a recognized institution (to enter PhD)

IPADS Office reserves the right to request submission of a proof of English proficiency from all applicants, regardless of their nationalities and educational background.\
