Yes, you can pursue a PhD at the same university after completing your master's, as long as you meet that university’s specific admission requirements. Admission is not automatic - your application will be evaluated based on your academic record, research interests, and fit with faculty expertise.
You’ll typically need:
- A relevant master’s degree with a strong GPA (requirements vary by university)
- Reference letters
- Statement of purpose and research statement
- Updated CV
- Interview (in many cases)
- Proof of English proficiency, such as IELTS or TOEFL
Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission.
