Admission
-
What are the admission criteria for the program?
The program is created and suitable for candidates with no previous studies in economics/management and to facilitate their transition to the job market. Thus no previous working experience is required. Candidates must hold a bachelor degree issued by a recognized university and must have a good level of English. Candidates with a bachelor degree from a University of Applied Sciences with a solid track record are also admissible.
-
Can I be admitted with a bachelor degree from an HES?
Yes, direct admission is possible but not if the degree is in economics or management. Having a solid academic performance in previous studies is a requirement.
-
Are GRE/GMAT or any other language test required?
No, these tests are not required.
-
Can I request for credit transfers?
The program does not require any previous knowledge of economics. Previous courses validated as part of a previous degree cannot be validated. A special request in other cases can be submitted for examination.
-
Can one be admitted with a learning agreement of preliminary bachelor courses?
The program does not require previous knowledge in economics and therefore does not justify or require any educational contract.
-
Can one be admitted with a bachelor from the Faculty of Humanities including an Economics or Management minor?
Only if the minor is secondary (42 ECTS)
