Assessment Procedure

To help us select the very best applicants, we follow a two-stage assessment procedure.
The Eligibility Commission decides on the basis of the transcript of records and where applicable the
additional non-mandatory criteria to admit an applicant to the program. Candidates whose eligibility
is still in doubt after this stage will be invited for an interview.

2
Knowledge gained from your first degree:
The examination committee evaluates the courses and modules of your first degree.

Performance in first degree:

Applicants will get up to 10 points depending on their final grade (GPA) (Range: 10 points for a 1,0
and 0 points for 3,0).

International Experience
International Experience (studies abroad, internships abroad, summer/winter schools abroad etc. but
no language courses) of at least 60 consecutive days can be taken into account. All categories value
10 points. International experience during your undergraduate studies or not more than one year
before starting your undergraduate studies can be taken into account. Please submit evidence
(certificates of study or certificates that clearly state the duration and purpose of the stay abroad,
submit either originals or notarized copies). International experience is not mandatory.

GMAT
Applicants will gain 10 points for a test result of at least 600 points or more. Lower results cannot be
taken into account. The GMAT is not mandatory.

On the basis of the submitted documents, the applicants are assigned to one of the three following
groups:

 Eligible applicants will receive an acceptance letter.

 Ineligible applicants will receive a letter of rejection.
 Applicants whose eligibility is still in doubt will be invited to an interview.

The Interview (2nd stage)

The interview is only for applicants who were not admitted nor rejected in the first stage. Interviews
usually take place between the end of July and the end of August (for the winter semester start) or the
end of January and the end of February (for the summer semester start).

Please note that interview dates are non-negotiable and failure to appear at the interview will generally
result in a rejection.

The interview lasts 20-30 minutes and is conducted by at least two members of the Eligibility
Commission. Applicants will be given the opportunity to demonstrate their reflections on cross-
disciplinary competences/abilities and their knowledge at the intersection of management and
technology.

On the basis of their performance in the interview and in their previous program of study, applicants
are assigned to one of the following groups:

 Eligible applicants will receive an acceptance letter.

 Ineligible applicants will receive a letter of rejection.
