1) An undergraduate degree in a relevant field of study is recommended. However, applicants may be assessed for admission to the MAIS on the basis of their skills, knowledge and background developed outside traditional learning structures. This flexible admissions approach opens doors to higher learning for qualified candidates who otherwise might not meet traditional admission requirements, and thereby serves the needs of a diverse group of students.
2) Ideal candidates are self-directed and highly motivated and possess strong interpersonal, research, and communication skills. MAIS students move between cohorts and groups of learners and need to be comfortable with completing an individualized program at their own pace and integrating into student teams in different programs.
3) Normally a minimum of three years of professional experience.
4) A competitive, interdisciplinary, applied research proposal that reflects current research foci in the Faculty of Social and Applied Sciences
