General requirements

Get ready to join the highest caliber of participants.
There is no one ‘ideal’ profile of an IMD Executive MBA candidate since we strive for diversity in the class. The program is designed for individuals aged 35 years or above with at least 10 years of relevant professional work experience, strong management experience, consistent career progression, and outstanding leadership potential.
If you are age 28-35 with 5-10 years of business experience and are aiming for the EMBA, then apply via IMD’s Future Leaders (FL) instead of Foundations for Business Leadership or Global Management Foundations. Alumni of the FL program apply FL learning and develop their career for a minimum of 2 years before continuing into the EMBA if all admissions criteria are met.
A limited number of partial scholarships are awarded to exceptional candidates based upon merit and financial need. More information can be found here.
