Admission requirements

Students should be fluent in English, and have obtained a Master degree (or equivalent qualification according to the European Qualifications Framework). Refer to the application process for further details on the recommended English language levels.

Degrees with 240 European credits or 160 American semester credits are typically considered equivalent if they are equivalent also on the European Qualifications Framework. Other degrees can be submitted along with your application for review by our Admissions Department. No distinction is made between academic or professional Master degrees.

Students who do not hold a business-related Master degree or equivalent may be required to complete an inbound assessment test prior to starting the program, and, depending on the results, earn an additional number of credits in leveling courses from the Master program in order to be fully prepared for our postgraduate programs.
