Executive DBA Admissions

In order to be accepted to the E-DBA Program, prospective students must generally hold an advanced degree such as an MBA, E-MBA, specialized Master’s or a comparable graduate business degree (i.e. MIB, MIM, LLB or a degree deemed acceptable by the admissions team). Applicants should also have a minimum of ten years of work experience, preferably demonstrating managerial/leadership skills, increasing levels of managerial/leadership responsibility, and/or a discernible area and level of expertise.
The admission process into the E-DBA program is online and supported by “The Bridge”, our proprietary admissions and Learning Management System (LMS) platform.

The school has not created a scholarship fund for those interested in pursuing the E-DBA. External grants or funding, depending on the country of origin and/or residence, may be available for the program (i.e. FHTT scheme from OPCACIF organizations for French professionals). In addition, some doctoral students may be able to obtain partial or full tuition funding from their employer and some doctoral students may qualify for government or other forms of financing schemes in their country.

Payment in additional installments can be arranged with the admissions department for an additional financing fee.

   • 1st installment (non-refundable): payment of €7000 upon acceptance of admissions offer
