5. Do I need GMAT score to apply for the programme?
The GMAT score is not a requirement of BCM programme. The admission is
competitive and we carefully select students based on many parameters not just
limited to previous education background and experience, so a GMAT may be an
advantage.
You are exempted from taking the proficiency test if you have graduated from a
higher education institution in an English Speaking country (i.e. Great Britain, Ireland,
United States, Canada, Australia or New Zealand).

5. What I should do to get health insurance to cover my medical expenses?
You could get German health insurance with AOK Furtwangen (located in the
immediate surroundings of HFU main entrance) when you are here in Germany for
studying (this would take a day or two) this is normally cheaper and will cover the
complex legal requirements for health insurance better than most insurance you can
obtain at home. However you will have to check with your German embassy if you
would need travel insurance for your VISA.
