Follow up your application by emailing two letters of recommendation from persons who can tell us about your leadership experience/potential and confirm your ability to complete a second degree (letters from relatives not accepted).

Applications are due by January 2025. Students admitted to the PLDP agree to abide by its policies and procedures (PDF).
