To be eligible for admission, applicants should normally possess:
A minimum of three years’ appropriate post-graduation work experience
A good Bachelors degree (equivalent to a first or second class UK Honours degree) or an equivalent professional qualification
Applicants for whom English is their second language will also be required to demonstrate English language proficiency equivalent to IELTS 6.5 or TOEFL 575 (or 90 for the internet-based test). Applicants may be exempt from the requirement to complete IELTS or TOEFL tests if they have evidence of equivalent English language proficiency – for example, if they have completed a degree in an English-speaking country or institution within the last five years or if they have worked in a predominantly English-speaking work environment for more than five years.
Applicants without a first degree or an equivalent professional qualification:
Applicants who do not have these standard entry qualifications but do have eight or more years of senior-level full-time work experience may submit a Portfolio of Evidence of their work achievements to demonstrate that they can benefit from, contribute to and succeed on the EMBA programme. A Portfolio might include, for example, details of significant work projects or strategic analyses undertaken. It might also include information about other courses taken, and training and development programmes attended. The aim would be to demonstrate that your business knowledge and experience allow you to fulfill the academic requirements of the EMBA.
