ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
University degree
One of the admission requirements is a first university degree that is equivalent to 210 credits according to the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS). 210 credits equate to a workload of 6,300 study hours. For applicants with less than 210 credits, the study programme director will determine what additional coursework the student would be required to complete after acceptance into the programme. Coursework will need to be completed before being allowed to submit a master’s thesis. Another option might be the recognition of previous professional experience.
Language skills
Applicants will need to provide proof of English-language proficiency at the Independent User, B2, level based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). They can do so by submitting the results of recognised tests, such as the TOEFL or IELTS. These language test results should be included in the application and submitted by the deadline of the preferred intake.
Students who completed a first degree in English do not need to submit proof of English-language level proficiency. In addition to this, native language or official language in the home country are accepted. Students may hand in their application before completing the necessary language test. Certificates of successfully completed language tests should be submitted by the deadline of the preferred intake.
Professional experience
Students need at least 1 to 2 years of professional experience in any field, after completing their first academic degree and before starting the MBA programme.
