YOUR APPLICATION

A human touch for a tailored programme

The culture at EDHEC’s Global MBA is an integral part of the experience and maintaining this requires a personalised admissions process. Applications are evaluated holistically and our admissions team considers every candidate carefully, making sure that you are a good match for the programme, and that the programme is the right fit for you too.

 

The EDHEC Global MBA Admissions Procedure

We aim to keep the application process simple so that you can focus on what’s important — telling us why you’re a great fit for the EDHEC Global MBA. You’ll be accompanied all the way through the process by a designated admissions manager who can help make sure everything’s in order.

It’s always good to know what a school is looking for when preparing your application. We believe that a transparent process saves time and energy for both our applicants and our team, so here are the main questions that we consider above all:

  • What kind of experience are you seeking, and what are your ambitions?
  • How do your profile and experience contribute to the diversity of your future cohort?
  • What value are you bringing to your classmates’ experience?
  • Does the school and programme match your own values? 

Stay ahead of the deadlines

EU or EEA Nationals:

Applications must be received before June 30th.

Outside EEA:

Applications must be received before May 31st. This deadline may be extended upon request to accommodate visa processing time.

Get ready for Nice

Before filling out the online admission form, why not start with a quick profile check? All you need is your updated CV and some basic information. One of our admissions managers will contact you directly to discuss your profile and qualifications, and make sure you’re on the right track. We can also advise you on which scholarship you may be eligible for, so you have full transparency for budget planning.

 

Submit Profile

You will start by creating your EDHEC account so that all the information you enter is saved. This means that if you’re missing anything, you can always come back to complete your application later. A member of our admissions team will be notified when you get started, and follow up with you if you need any help or advice during the process. The application includes official documents and 2 letters of recommendation.

 

When you’re ready to submit your official application, you’ll be asked to pay the 150€ application fee online. Once paid, you will be able to send your application through to our team to start the official admissions process.

 

Create your account & Start your application

If your application is accepted, then you will be invited to an initial interview. Depending on what works best for you, the interview can be by virtual meeting, phone, or in person on our campus in Nice, France.

  • First, you will complete a conversational interview with one of our admissions managers, which typically lasts about 45 minutes to an hour.
  • Second, you will be asked to submit a video questionnaire of you answering a series of surprise questions. You will have two minutes to answer each question.
  • Finally, a brief interview with one of our Alumni Attachés will be arranged, which is a wonderful opportunity for you to speak to someone who has been through the programme.

 

Complete Admissions Guide

At the end of each month, the EDHEC Global MBA Selections Committee, which includes the Head of Admissions and the Programme Director, will personally assess your entire application and promptly inform you of the admission decision.

Since we have a rolling admissions policy, the earlier you apply, the sooner you will know if you have been accepted and also means you will have a better chance of securing one of our top scholarships. If your application is not accepted, your admissions manager will make sure to explain what might be missing. Depending on the details, if it’s experience or qualifications then you may be encouraged to apply again in the future.

 

Start your application

After the first step of the process noted above, you will already have any scholarship information to help you plan. We also include accommodation costs for your global business trips within the fees so you will need to pay for flights in addition to you expenses throughout the programme (accommodation, living expenses, books, etc.) so you’ll know exactly what you need for budget planning.

Save more by having your first instalment ready when you’ve finished your interviews. We offer a 5% Prompt Payment Reduction if you pay your first instalment of fees within three weeks of acceptance. This is valid for both firm and conditional offers.
