These qualifications are based on the candidate’s years of academic experience, and on his/her artistic and research work and contribution. Candidates should especially take note of the minimum requirement for at least (5) years (for applications to the Lecturer rank) of autonomous teaching or research work, after the award of the Master’s Degree, at an accredited institution of higher or highest education, or equivalent research centre.
The candidates will be assessed only for the rank or the ranks for which they have applied.
