Admission Steps & Requirements

To apply for our Master or International MBA programmes, you must provide proof of successful completion of undergraduate studies from an accredited higher education institution. This includes:
– Bachelor’s degree certificate
– Final academic transcripts detailing courses taken and grades achieved
There are no prerequisite subjects required for any of our Master’s programmes.

Important Notice on Degree Requirements

A Bachelor’s degree is mandatory for admission into programmes leading to degrees awarded by UCAM or Collège de Paris.

For students without a Bachelor’s degree, admission may be considered only for a private degree from ESEI International Business School. In this case, candidates must provide evidence of at least 5 years of accredited professional experience in a relevant sector. Required documents include:
– Employment history document (e.g., Vida Laboral in Spain), unless the country of employment does not issue such a document.
– Signed company certificate stating the start and end dates of employment, along with the functions performed.

Additional Considerations

While the GRE (Graduate Record Examinations) may be recommended in certain cases, it is not mandatory for admission. If you have recently completed the GRE or plan to do so, you may designate ESEI International Business School as a recipient of your score using GRE Designated Institution (DI) Code 1160.

Document Requirements

All documents must be issued in English, bearing the stamp and signature of an authorised university official. If documents are in a language other than English, an official translation will be required

You must be fluent in English to participate and fully benefit from our programmes.

If English is not your native language, we accept all internationally recognized certificates such as IELTS (minimum requirement: 6.0) and TOEFL iBT (minimum requirement 78) as proof of your English proficiency.

If you do not have an IELTS or TOEFL, but have a good command of English, you can apply directly without proof of English Proficiency. If this is the case, after your admission interview, you may be required to take the free EnglishScore test to confirm your level of English.

As part of your application, we require an Impact Statement, which can be submitted either as a motivational letter or a video. This letter/video is your opportunity to convey your ambitions for making a significant contribution to your chosen field of study. It should outline the benefits you anticipate from participating in the program and how it aligns with your future goals.

• Motivational Letter (PDF): Write a 350-500 word letter. Attach it in PDF format.
• Video: Create a 3-5 minute video. Paste a link to the video.

Content:

• Detail your plans to contribute to your field and the positive impacts you aim to make.
• Describe how you believe the programme aligns with and supports your long-term aspirations.

Guidance Questions:

1. How do you intend to contribute to your field?
2. What positive impacts do you hope to achieve through this program?
3. How does the program support your future goals?

Your Impact Statement is a vital part of your application, offering insights into your motivations, ambitions, and the potential influence you see yourself having in your field. Whether you choose to express your thoughts in writing or through a video, please ensure your submission is thoughtful, clear, and compelling.

Your Curriculum Vitae (C.V.) should be a summary of your accomplishments and responsibilities over the years. It should be clear, concise and complete with up to date and verifiable information about your education, employment history and unique abilities. Your CV must be submitted in English.

Someone who is able to comment on your academic/professional performance should write your letter of reference. This can be a professor who has taught you or a current / ex-employer if you have work experience. The letter should include the referee’s relationship with you, how long they have known you, your abilities, and why they consider you a suitable candidate for the programme. Your reference letter should also include the contact details of your referee.

If you are an EU citizen, you can apply with a valid national ID card. If you are a non-EU citizen, you must apply with a valid international passport valid for the duration of your programme. You will need to send a scanned copy of the data page of document in color.
