  • Work experience: It is not mandatory to have any full-time work experience prior to applying to the program. However if you have any relevant experience, either full-time or via an internship, this will be considered as part of your application for the program.
  • References: When applying, you will be asked to provide two academic or professional references. If you are in the process of completing a degree program, one reference should be from your current institution.
  • English language test: The MSc SIA requires a minimum level of English.
