APPLY

Applications for the 2026 session have been extended until 7 June 2026.

Please note that the ISS follows a rolling admissions policy and as such, you can expect a decision on your application (both for Stage I and Stage II) very soon after you have submitted it.

With a limited number of seats remaining, applicants are encouraged to submit their applications before the final deadline.

Applications for the 2026 session close at 23.59 GMT on Sunday, 7 June 2026. The online application process comprises two stages:

Stage I: Pre-application

Applicants submit some preliminary details about themselves through a simple, online application form that may be accessed by clicking on the ‘Apply Now’ below.

Stage II: Submission of Statement of Purpose & Requisite Documents

Applicants who qualify for Stage II of the online application process will be required to submit a Statement of Purpose, a Letter of Recommendation & other documents, details of which will be provided by the ISS over email.

Applications received during this final extension period will be processed on an expedited basis. Applicants are encouraged to keep their passport (or alternative government-issued photo ID for Indian applicants) and academic records readily available to facilitate prompt review.
