There is no specific minimum score requirement, except for certain departments or divisions that may enforce their own criteria.

You must apply at least 4 months before your actual start date or the deadline set by your home university, whichever comes first.

Please note that all starting dates must strictly fall on the 1st Monday or 3rd Monday of the month.

Our application rounds open during specific periods as follows:

• November (1–30 Nov): For electives starting in April – September.
• February (1–28 Feb): For electives starting in July – December.
• May (1–31 May): For electives starting in October – March.

Any modifications to the schedule require an entirely new coordination and official approval process across departments, which typically takes an additional 1–2 months to complete.
