Applications and Admissions

Admission to the full-time MBA programme is by application and acceptance. You are normally expected to have:

  • A recognised first- or second-class honours degree, or a qualification deemed to be equivalent, or passes in three of the MBA courses (one of which must be core).
  • A minimum of two years’ post-qualifying full-time work experience of a relevant nature.
  • If English is not your first language, you must also provide evidence of competence in English language in the form of an IELTS/TOEFL score.

EBS requires the following minimum language scores.

TOEFL:

  • 637 (paper-based test)
  • 270 (computer-based test)
  • 110 (Internet-based test)

IELTS: 6.5.

Start dates

The full-time MBA programme starts in September and January of each year. We recommend you submit your applications at least two months before the start date. This will allow time for processing, visa applications and pre-attendance study. While we try our best to accommodate all prospective students, EBS cannot guarantee that any applications received less than two months before the start date will be processed in time, particularly if a student requires a visa.
