Thanks for letting me know about IELTS requirements Francesco. I would be very interested in applying, but I notice that the scholarship deadline is tomorrow! :) and I would not be able to afford it without a full scholarship, which might mean that it might be next year when I can apply again..

Dear Francesco,
Thanks for the information on MAS. I'm a student from Sri Lanka interested in continuing my studies in peace studies. I'd like to apply for the March 2010 intake. However, I'm doing IELTS only in January 2010. would this make me too late to apply for a scholarship to the program?
would much appreciate if you can inform me how to proceed.
thanks,
nilan
