*Applicants without an undergraduate degree may be admitted to the degree course if they can prove in an oral aptitude test at an admission interview that they possess exceptional abilities and an exceptional level of motivation.

Institute of higher education degree

The subject in which the institute of higher education degree was obtained is irrelevant. The purpose, structure and content of the Executive MBA degree course clearly go well beyond a foundational business studies course. Graduates of such courses will find the MBA degree course is not intended to refresh and deepen their existing knowledge, but rather to teach entirely new material, methods and perspectives. The Executive MBA degree course is thus alsosuitable for graduates with degrees in the natural sciences, humanities and social sciences. Applicants without an undergraduate degree may be admitted to the degree course if they can prove in an oral aptitude test at an admission interview that they possess exceptional abilities and an exceptional level of motivation.

Professional experience

All applicants must be able to demonstrate they have at least seven years of professional work experience. In addition, during the admissions interview the professional capabilities of applicants will be evaluated. In view of the material to be studied and the form of the degree course, participants will not require academically acquired specialist knowledge but, instead, will need to be familiar with professional practice in commercial organizations or public institutions.
