Proof of English language proficiency may also be required, and three letters of recommendation must be submitted along with the application. According to the university, taking the GRE exam is not mandatory.
Interested Pakistani students should review the admission requirements, funding opportunities, and details regarding their eligibility before submitting an application, as the availability of financial assistance may vary for each candidate.
