      The program starts in September each year, and the earlier you submit your application the better.

      Step 1:  To begin the admissions process, please complete and submit an online application (it includes your scholarship application). The application will ask you for the following information:

      • Personal information
      • An up-to-date CV showing at least three years of postgraduate professional experience
      • Answers to the following:
        • What was the most challenging situation you have encountered in your business life? How did you tackle it? What did you learn from it? (max 250 words)
        • Please share your career goals and describe how the ESMT MBA program, coupled with your current knowledge and experience, will help you achieve them. (video essay, max 3 mins)
      • Two professional recommendations – at least one is needed to submit your application, the second can follow later
      • Your English proficiency test scores (if applicable)
      • Transcripts of your undergraduate degree detailing courses and grades
      • €50 application fee
      • Response to the scholarship question - How will you make a difference with the Refugee Scholarship?

      Step 2:  After we have reviewed your application, successful candidates will be invited for interview (in person or video).

      The interview will last 40-50 minutes and serves to help us learn about each other. We want to get to know you – your career to date, future career goals and aspirations, and what you’re looking for; and in turn you get to ask us questions about the program, school, and life at ESMT.

      Step 3:  Skip this step if you already have a valid GMAT or GRE score. If not, then we may ask you to take the ESMT Business Admissions Test. This is a two hour, online, test that evaluates academic aptitude over four sections of 30 minutes each: communication analysis, critical thinking, data analysis, and data interpretation.

      Step 4:  Successful applicants will receive an offer of admission.

      Step 5:  Accept your offer To secure your place in the part-time MBA, you will need to pay a non-refundable deposit of €4,000 by the date indicated in your offer letter. Congratulations and we look forward to welcoming you to ESMT Berlin!
