Mid-Year Entry Information
Students will normally be required to begin their studies in the first semester of any year. However, depending on the student's competency in their chosen Asian language and on the particular nature of the course of studies proposed, mid-year entry for full-time students may be possible with a modified program negotiated with the Graduate Academic Adviser. Part-time students may begin mid-year.
