    Other requirements

    General requirements

    To apply, you’ll need a bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) from a recognized university or college, along with proof of English language proficiency. (It´s not that difficult)

    To enroll in our Master’s program, ideally you should have a degree in business or economics, but we also welcome applicants from other analytical fields like industrial engineering, business informatics, or mathematics — provided your degree includes at least four business-related courses. If you’re missing some business courses, there are various ways to make up for them. 

    Your bachelor’s degree should include 180 ECTS points for the standard track, or 210 ECTS points for the fast track and part-time track. Applicants for the fast and part-time tracks must have completed at least one academic term abroad or an internship abroad as part of their degree.

    If you haven’t received your degree certificate yet, you can apply using your transcript of records.

    • Repatriation, if something happens to you or your family
    • Liability
    • Home contents and baggage
    • Accidents
