Statement of Purpose, CV and other documents

After submitting your electronic application, you must complete your application with documentation of your previous studies and English abilities. In some cases, you must also submit a Statement of Purpose and a CV in your application package.

1. Submit supporting documents

The documentation process can be a complicated one. It's hard to know what types of documents are needed, how they should be prepared, where they should be submitted, how they should be certified, etc. Please read through the instructions at the University Admissions website before you begin.

2. Don't forget the programme specific documents (if required)

In addition to the online application and the required documentation stated on the University Admissions website, additional supporting documents must also be submitted when applying to the programmes below.

Programmes requiring a Statement of Purpose and CV with your application

The Statement of purpose is one of the most important, and challenging, elements of your application. It is your opportunity to stand out from the hundreds of other applicants to our programmes. Your Statement of purpose needs to reflect who you are and why you would be an asset to the programme you are applying to. It should convince us that you have solid achievements behind you that show promise for your success in graduate studies.
