Full-time MBA

Registration and admission

Admission

Our next international Full-time MBA program will start in September 2026.

Successful enrolment in our Full-Time MBA is subject to a number of admission requirements. This is to maintain admissions quality. That way you can benefit from a high potential, motivated group of talented individuals to further enhance your learning experience.

If you have read our requirements and want to validate whether you meet them. You are invited to request a profile review with our Program Adviser, who can provide guidance on the admissions process and how to give your application the best chance of success.

Admission requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent from an accredited institution
  • A solid GMAT,GRE or in some cases the TIAS Capacity Test as an alternative. (GMAT/GRE waivers are not guaranteed, and approvals are made on a case-by-casebasis)
  • Minimum of 3 years relevant full-time work experience (average is 8 years)
  • Strong command of written and spoken English (TOEFL of 90 or IELTS of 6.5 is required)

A high GMAT score does not guarantee admission, just as a low score doesn't preclude admission. We accept students with lower GMAT scores if we believe this can be offset by stronger areas in one’s profile. Since we are such a very diverse school, we are keen to see whether you have worked, lived, studied abroad, or worked for an international company. So while a solid GMAT score is important, it is not necessarily a deal breaker.

Additionally, the GMAT requirement may be waived if you meet some specific criteria. As an example, the GMAT may not be required if you already have a PhD or a Master’s degree in finance. Please note that the Academic Director evaluates each applicant’s overall profile to determine whether the waiver may be granted. In some cases, we could ask you to take the TIAS Capacity Test (TCT) instead. Feel free to contact your Program Adviser to find out more.

Upon receipt of your application our Program Adviser will contact you to arrange an interview. All interviews are by invitation only. And all applicants will have the option of interviewing on campus or via Microsoft Teams or telephone.
