The world's most flexible MBA programme

This is your MBA. Not ours. That means you start when you like and finish when you like. You can study from home or on campus. At EBS, our courses are designed to fit round you.

Applications and Admissions

Admission to the part-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 4 years’ post-qualifying full-time business experience.
  • 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, or any Tier 4 UKBA approved Language Test with a grade of C1 or above.

For IELTS/TOEFL, 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 programme starts in October or January of each year. We recommend that you submit your application 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
