Students applying for first grade entry to one of the Life and Enviromental Science programs (Biological Science, Agrobiological Resource Sciences, Geosciences) or International Social Sciences (Social Sciences, International Studies) will undergo a 2-stage screening process.
In the first stage, program staff will review your submitted documents with particular focus on your motivations for applying, and the fit between your academic goals and the program content. A pdf of helpful advice about writing your study plan (personal statement) can be found on the applications pages.
The second stage screening consists of a 20 - 30 minute online interview. Examiners will ask a range of both general and specific questions covering your motivations for applying to our program, and specific points arising from your study plan.
