Our MBA programme is fully accredited by

• Association of MBAs (AMBA)
• European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS)
• Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).

Only 5% of all business schools worldwide carry all three of these prestigious badges of accreditation.

We look for well-rounded personalities who have a clear idea of their career objectives and a a focused approach. Our full entry requirements are:

• A good university degree or at least six years of business experience.
• Relevant postgraduate work experience (three years minimum).
• A well-balanced score in the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT.) As a guide, our candidates average 640, but we consider all applications on an individual basis. You can apply without GMAT if you provide the date of the test on your application.
• If English is not your first language a minimum, well-balanced IELTS score of 7.0 or TOEFL IBT score of 100. (This may be waived if you have worked or studied in an English-speaking country for at least a year).
• At least two supporting references (ideally one from a current employer or university tutor but two professional references are acceptable.)
• Personal statement (around 1000 words).

We operate a rolling admissions programme. However, due to high demand for places from strong candidates across the Cass MBA programmes, we recommend that you submit a full application at least four months in advance of the start of the course.
