GEMBA: Admissions Process
Pre-Admissions Committee
To assess your suitability for the program, your mentor may call a pre-admissions committee meeting to study your application (see 3 step). The Pre-admissions Committee follows the same decision criteria as the Admissions Committee. If their decision is positive, your mentor will encourage you to proceed.
Admissions Interview
Once you have submitted your application, along with all the documentation requested (see 2 step), your mentor will arrange for you to meet with another member of the Admissions Committee.
Admissions Commitee
Admissions committee meetings are held according to the number of applications to be reviewed. Each committee member will thoroughly study your application and analyze your interview results before meeting with you. Candidates are evaluated on the following criteria:
- Academic merit
- Team leadership and business management experience
- Professional and personal achievements
- Impact on your company and society
- Interpersonal and public communication skills in English
- Analytical skills (numerical and logical)
- Goals and reasons for applying
- Availability to follow the program and financial means to cover enrollment fees and living expenses
After studying your application, the Committee will communicate their decision in writing within a week of your admissions interview.
