- Demonstrate that they have the necessary competencies in research methodology and practice required for the completion of an independent study research degree.
- Nominate a suitable supervisor with the application.
International applicants for whom English is a second language are required to submit one of the
following, unless this requirement is waived by the GSB Research Director:
- A recent score on the TOEFL Test of at least 570 (paper-based) or 230 (computer-based) or 88 (internet-based). This must be obtained within 3-5 years before applying to UCT.
