E-sports is going from strength to strength and is showing no sign of slowing down.

Academic Requirements:

- At least a “satisfactory” or Grade C equivalent earned in your previous degree.

Only for Online Studies: If you are lacking ECTS credits from your previous studies, you can demonstrate professional work experience for your online degree instead.
- To start a 90-ECTS MBA, you can “bridge” 30 ECTS by demonstrating 1 additional year of professional experience. This means you can access the programme already with 180 ECTS credits.

This means you can access the One-Year programme already with 210 ECTS (if you prove one additional year of work experience) or 180 ECTS (if you can prove two additional years) from your previous studies.
- Applicants whose first degree does not specialise in a business field can be admitted to IU's programme if their work experience is in business management. Admission to the MBA programme will then be decided on an individual basis following an interview with IU's academic staff.
