Application and Document Deadlines

As international applicants requiring a student visa to study at our university would need additional time to prepare for their departure, we have set early application and document deadlines, which would enable us to process applications in a timely manner. Each graduate program may specify a different deadline; therefore, it is important to check departmental website for further information.
