Admissions<\/h2>\n
The programme adopts a pull mechanism in that candidates are predominantly admitted to the programme only after a potential supervisor indicates an interest to supervise them. This is based on the concept note submitted during the application process.<\/p>\n
Moreover, this ensures that student\u2019s research topics are from very early on aligned to faculty research areas and to the overall mission of the programme, the school and the University. Such an alignment is aimed at improving the student\u2019s graduation rate.<\/p>\n
