Application
Candidates may apply throughout the year. Applications are processed upon completion of the required documents.
Class dates
The academic year begins in January and ends the following year in June.
Deadlines
Since the Getting-started Courses take place in November, applying by the end of October is recommended. Early applications by June 15 are encouraged and benefit from a discount. Late applications will be given consideration if space is available.
The applicant should submit:

Interviews
After all required materials are received, applicants will be invited for two personal interviews, one with Prof. Dr. Claudio Loderer and another with an alumnus or alumna of the program. The interviews are based on the CV and focus heavily on business experience. Admission decisions are made within one week of the interview.
Transfer credit
No credit toward this degree is given to candidates on the basis of course work completed in any other program.
