The application process
At IE Business School, we take a holistic approach to evaluating each candidate. We look at every aspect of your application; as such no single element is of unique importance within evaluation, but rather a compilation of all the elements submitted. It is therefore essential you include detailed information on relevant academic, professional achievements and any other details that could support your application.

Do invest sufficient time in preparing all the parts of the application process!
Given the differing professional demands of each individual, IE Business School offers a rolling admissions process. As such, there are no submission deadlines for any particular intake. However, given the limited number of places in the program and the diverse student body, it is highly recommended you present your application approximately one year prior to program commencement, especially as seats fill far prior to the program start.

Formal Interview & Final Decision
* The Formal Interview:
The interview examines the data provided in the application in greater detail and evaluates whether your profile will meet the demands of the program and add value within the class discussion and group work. Normally candidates will go through one interview, however, the Admissions Committee may contact you for a second interview if we need to verify certain aspects.
Recommendation for the interview: be well prepared, research about financial issues, and show us you are a potential finance professional!
* Final Decision:
Following the interview and upon review of your entire application, the Admissions Committee will make its final decision based on the evaluation of your candidature as a whole. A final decision communication is typically 2 weeks after the interview has taken place, considering all documents have been received.
