Admission to CIS Ph.D. program is competitive against a standard that is similar to that of graduate programs of the leading universities the world over. The selection process for admissions takes into account all aspects of the CIS Ph.D. program application, including: academic record, applicant's statement, letters of recommendation, additional evidence of academic ability such as HAT general test scores, additional material such as copies of publications and abstracts of oral presentations, and any other evidence of achievement provided. For short-listed applicants, the selection process additionally takes into account face-to-face interviews with three faculty members. All of these aspects are considered together in the final decision for each candidate.
