Alongside the ALES score, the evaluation may also consider the undergraduate GPA, a written scientific assessment, and interview results. The specific criteria for this evaluation, as well as the additional documents and information required for application, the weighting ratio for international standard exams, the minimum threshold for the ALES score (not less than 50%), the lower limit of the master's entrance success score, and the weighting ratio for the scientific assessment and interview, are determined by the proposal of the relevant departmental board and the approval of the institute board.
