Selection Process
Applications are considered as several gathered fields. A selection panel will review applications in January, April, and July. Acceptance to the course will be based on the applicant's academic record, motivation, and an interview. Decisions will normally be communicated soon after interview.
Shortlisted candidates will be interviewed remotely, and will be assessed on their background knowledge of Earth Sciences, and potential to meet the academic challenges of the MASt course. The contents of the application form, references, academic background and outcome of the interview, will all be used in making a final decision on whether or not to offer a place.
