The entrance exam consists of a written part (an essay, multiple choice questions, tasks of applied mathematics and logic) and a group discussion. The exam essay and multiple choice questions will be based on pre-reading material that the applicants must study before coming to the entrance exam.

The ability to communicate fluently in speaking and writing in English is a prerequisite for admission. Therefore, applicants must pass all the parts of the examination in order to be selected for admission. Applicants scoring below the minimum points for any of the sections will fail the exam.
