Prospective students interested in graduate programs at NSU should first review the specific admission requirements for their chosen program, which typically include a relevant undergraduate degree with a minimum GPA, English language proficiency, and other criteria. The application process involves completing an online application form, submitting necessary documents such as transcripts and letters of recommendation, and paying the application fee. Some programs may also require an admission test or interview. Detailed information and application procedures can be found on NSU's official website or by contacting the Office of Graduate Studies.​

International students seeking admission to NSU must meet the same academic requirements as domestic applicants, including equivalent qualifications and proficiency in English. The application process involves submitting an online application, providing certified copies of academic transcripts, proof of English language proficiency (such as IELTS or TOEFL scores), and a valid passport. Additionally, international applicants may need to provide financial documentation to demonstrate their ability to cover tuition and living expenses. NSU's Office of International Affairs offers support and guidance throughout the application process to ensure a smooth transition for international students.
