This Master’s programme is taught in English, so strong language skills are essential. To help you succeed in class, we ask you to show your English proficiency through one of the approved tests listed below:
Other test versions or modules are not accepted. Examples of this include but are not limited to: IELTS Indicator, IELTS One Skill Retake, TOEFL Home Edition, TOEFL MyBest Scores, etc.
Test scores may not be older than 2 years, counting back from the start of the programme. So for the September 2026 intake, we only accept tests taken on or after 1 September 2024.
We accept scores submitted after the application deadline, as long as you took the test before that deadline.
Meeting the entry requirements alone is just the first step. Besides the entry requirements, you need to meet the selection criteria. This means that your application will be compared with other applicants. The selection is based on your GPA, GMAT (GRE) score and motivation letter.
We are looking for students who have shown academic potential to keep up with the high level and workload of the programme.
Therefore, one of the criteria on which your application will be assessed is the Grade Point Average (GPA). We do not require a specific minimum GPA for this programme, but we will compare and assess the performance on all selection criteria to make an informed decision regarding placement into the programme.
Strong analytical writing and quantitative reasoning skills are essential for this Master’s. To ensure this, you need to provide a sufficient Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) score. In some cases a Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) General Test result is accepted.
The GMAT (Focus) Online Exam is allowed for the September 2026 intake.
Instead of a GMAT, a GRE test score may be accepted if you have already obtained a GRE score or if it is difficult to take the GMAT test on short notice in your country.
Your test scores should be submitted before your application deadline. Please keep in mind that receiving these results can take up to two weeks.
Based on mutual agreements with certain universities, you might be exempted from taking a GMAT or GRE test. Check the list of universities to see whether this applies to you.
Your motivation letter (max. one A4) can contribute to your admission if your academic results are in the lower regions of the requested entry requirements. It allows you to explain why you would be a good fit for the Master’s programme.
Please provide a letter of recommendation from a previous or current supervisor, professor, co-worker, or peer who can describe the knowledge, skills, or aptitudes that you possess.
