Student Application Guidelines for the Biomolecular Sciences Ph.D. Programme
1- The student obtains the application package from admissions. This package requests that the student:
a) fills out the application form
b) provide an official transcript
c) arranges for three letters of reference to be sent to the admissions office
d) gives a statement of why they want to pursue graduate studies
The student should return the completed application form, transcript and statement to the admissions office. When the admissions office has a complete package they will forward it to the BMS Programme Coordinator.
