Enrollment Process

  • Please use "PCSP" as the course code for all your choices for the purposes of filling out our online course form.
  • Students who wish to enroll in Finance and Economics courses are strongly encouraged to apply early since these courses are often the first to fill up.

Supervisions

  • Courses are also offered in the Cambridge supervision system. Supervisions are similar to an independent study, and consist of in-depth research on a specific topic..
  • If you would like to opt for a supervision, please indicate this in your course selection form, and make sure to mention this to your program advisor.
