EDHEC BUSINESS SCHOOL ADMISSIONS PHILOSOPHY

Candidates to the EDHEC Business School Master in Management programme should keep in mind that
admission decisions are made on the basis of the applicants overall profile as reflected in the completed
application form.
Successful MiM candidates come from a wide range of education backgrounds and experiences. They also
display distinguished academic excellence, strong analytical skills, interpersonal competencies, international
awareness, have proven motivation to undertake the programme, the capacity to make significant
contributions to EDHEC Business Schools learning environment, and the potential to succeed as
professionals, managers and leaders in the related field of study.
The Selection Committee relies heavily on profiles, motivation letters, recommendation letters, and CVs.
Please complete each profile section carefully and devote the time needed to write a motivation letter (profile
sheet 8) that provides a true image of your personality and academic and career objectives.
This is essential to permit the Selection Committee to make a fair assessment of your candidacy for the
EDHEC Business School Master in Management Programme. Please note that applications must be
completed in ENGLISH. However, recommendation letters can be written in English or French.
Although academic ability is an important factor for success in our programmes, EDHEC Business School
does not count exclusively on academic aptitude testing scores as part of its selection process. GMAT or GRE
test scores are required, but are only one of the many criteria taken into consideration. Scores are valid for
up to 3 years. If you have not yet taken the GMAT or GRE you are advised to do so as soon as possible. If you
have taken the GMATs multiple times, your highest score will be considered.
You can submit your application if the rest of the fields are completed, and you are only missing your GMAT or
GRE scores. If you have not yet taken the GMAT or GRE please indicate when you intend to take the GMAT or
GRE and submit proof of registration for the exam.
Only with proof of registration for the exam will the Selection Committee make a provisional decision
conditional to your future score. Please send this proof of registration in place of official GMAT or GRE score.
Fluency in English is required for applying to EDHEC Business Schools programmes. Therefore,
certificates or test scores that demonstrate applicants English ability are needed for admission. We accept
TOEFL, TOIEC, and IELTS tests. Tests are valid for two years.
English Proficiency Test Waivers are granted to native-English speakers and candidates with previous
experience of study or profession in English. Waivers will only be granted if work experience in an English
speaking country accumulates to a minimum 2 years and must have occurred within the last 5 years.
