How to Apply

The University has not engaged any external agencies to undertake student recruitment on its behalf. Candidates interested in our programmes are advised to apply directly to the University and not through any agents. Candidates who apply through agents will not have any added advantage in gaining admission and the University reserves the right to reject such applications without giving reasons.

Applicants must possess at least a Bachelor’s Degree with good Honours (at least 2nd Upper Class) or its equivalent in a relevant discipline. In addition, TOEFL/IELTS scores may be required. Please refer to the admission requirements for more information.

Applicants are required to contact the faculty whom they wish to work with, and together with the faculty, identify a project for the MSc/PhD thesis research.

Please refer to our list of available research projects. If you do not find a project that matches your interest, you may also refer to the list of SSHSPH faculty, and discuss with prospective thesis advisors on possible research projects.

Application for the August 2025 intake will close on 15 November 2024.

Please read the application instructions carefully before proceeding to apply online.
