Entry Requirements

Applicants must be able to speak and write English. Natives of English-speaking countries, applicants from countries where English is official, and those with full-time English-medium instruction in the last two years may be waived from providing a certificate (a placement test may still be required). Applicants below the minimum may still apply: they take an English placement test on arrival and, if needed, English classes for at least two semesters — 120 hours cost $3,000, entirely separate from tuition — and admission is denied if the minimum is still not met after two semesters. Iranian citizens and dual nationals cannot apply to the International Education Program (they must take the Konkur national exam). The academic year has two semesters, starting in September and February; single undergraduate students get fully furnished dormitory accommodation. All documents must be in Persian or English (others must be translated into English first), and undergraduate applications are considered only with high school documents — even applicants already holding a degree must submit their high school diploma and transcripts.
