The Mathematics Admissions Test is a one hour test covering quantitative reasoning skills expected to be mastered by high-school graduates such as the analysis of functions including logarithmic & exponential functions, differentiation & integration, sequences and series, linear equations, trigonometry, and probability.
The MUST English Proficiency Test is a requirement for all MUST applicants (with the exception of native English speakers or students who have studied in one of the schools for which the test has been waived, typically those that teach in English). IELTS and TOEFL are also be accepted as alternative English language proficiency tests.
English Language Test | Minimum score for admission |
MUST Test | B2 Level |
TOEFL (Paper) | 525 or higher |
TOEFL (Computer-based) | 194 or higher |
TOEFL IBT (Internet-based) | 70 or higher |
IELTS | Band 6 or above in any skill (B2) |
For candidates that did not meet the English Proficiency Requirement, the admission committee may grant a conditional admission subject to the applicant meeting the other admission requirements and completing additional English courses.
The candidate’s motivation and potential are assessed by faculty members during a short half an hour interview. During the interview, candidates are also evaluated on their ability to communicate and express their ideas.
