Admission process
COVID-19: Adapted Admission Procedure for candidates based in Mainland China | Last updated: Wednesday, 1st July 2020
Please note that the following conditions are subject to change based on the evolving global situation. Kindly check this page regularly for updates.
English Tests: TOEFL iBT, IELTS, Cambridge
Given that English test centers are currently closed in Mainland China, candidates who have not already taken the test are allowed to apply to Round 1 by submitting the TOEFL ITP.
You will need to provide:
- 1 Management test score - mandatory
- 1 English test score - exempted if native-speaker or have spent last 3 years in a 100% English speaking university:
These can take several months to prepare and to register for an exam slot. Keep this in mind before starting your application as without these test scores it will be incomplete.
Create your candidate account. You can fill in the online application at your own pace and come back to it at any point.
You can only apply once per program each academic year. Once validated, your campus choice is final.
A complete application file includes the following items. Incomplete application will not be processed.
