Foreign students must pass the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) with the score at least 550 or, for the IBT test, the scores for reading 20, listening 17, speaking 17, writing 22 (the cumulative IBT score is irrelevant). The exam must be taken within two years of the application date; the TOEFL requirement is waived for students with a graduate or undergraduate degree from an American school.

Applicants must hold a baccalaureate degree, preferably with a major in physics. The Graduate Record Examination (GRE), including the advanced test in physics, is recommended but not required. To be accepted as a graduate degree candidate, applicants should have maintained an average of approximately B (3.0/4.0 scale) in their undergraduate work. Applicants with undergraduate averages below this level, but not less than 2.1, may be admitted by submitting other evidence of academic potential; i.e., satisfactory performance in postbaccalaureate work, professional experience as evidenced by publications or letters of recommendation, and/or high test scores.
