Tips from our advisors

1. Contact the relevant home-country ministry and CMEPIUS to confirm whether a 2026/27 quota remains available and the nomination deadline
2. Read the eligibility line by line before you write anything. Most rejections are eligibility mismatches, not weak essays.
3. Contact potential supervisors before you apply. Send a one-page research summary and a short, specific email.
4. Show a clear link between your past studies, this programme and your career goal. Committees look for a story, not a list.
5. Beyond grades, show leadership and community impact with concrete numbers and outcomes.
6. Spend most of your time on the criteria with the highest weight in the selection breakdown above.
7. Ask your referees at least 4 weeks ahead and give them your CV, your draft SOP and the deadline.
