At PhD-level, you would also need a master’s degree with a minimum score of B overall as well as evidence that you have strong potential for research.

Apply online here. If you are applying from abroad, you should consult the department’s website to check whether you need to secure a faculty member before submitting an application. Typically, in postgraduate research programs, you need to find a faculty member to conduct research under; otherwise, your research in your selected program won't be approved - especially for funding.
