Admissions

The admission process for the 2024-25 academic year is now closed.

We consider accepting late applications, but prospective applicants are are advised to contact the MDP office to notify the staff of their late submission. Late applicants are still eligible for tuition scholarships, contingent on remaining availability of funds.
