Admissions Requirements

When evaluating an application, we consider various factors (including academic achievements, professional experiences, and personal accomplishments) from a holistic perspective:  

• An applicant must have a bachelor’s degree from a recognized university with an acceptable GPA, or equivalent.
• Relevant work experience* is desirable (though not specifically required).   
• An applicant is expected to have a satisfactory GMAT/GRE score (which can be submitted after the application). For applicants with substantial years of work experience, the GMAT/GRE requirement may be waived on a case-by-case basis.
• All shortlisted applicants are required to attend an interview.

* Fresh graduates and those with less than three years of work experience will enrol in the full-time mode of the programme.

Remark: Some applicants may be recommended to take the Concentration Curriculum, especially those without sufficient work experience.

Applicants whose entrance qualification is obtained from an institution where the medium of instruction is not English should also fulfill the following minimum English proficiency requirement:
