ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Principal requirement for admission is a BSc degree or equivalent qualification in a relevant subject from a recognised university (e.g. BSc in botany, zoology, chemistry, agriculture, environmental science, aquaculture & fisheries, water resource management, environmental economics or engineering, etc.). Candidates should also have had practical or research work experience since their graduation, although all applications are considered on their individual merits. Since all instruction and examinations are given in English, it is essential that participants have a sound working knowledge of the English language.

In case of application please consider that visa logistics and other administrational issues usually last longer than expected, therefore we recommend to apply as soon as possible before the deadline.
