The following documents should be sent directly to our office:

  • Two letters of reference from individuals who can discuss the applicant's professional experience

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.
