Admissions
Entry requirements.
What you need in order to apply — by programme, with more than one route into almost every one.
In short
Assessed on qualifications and experience.
Entry to our programmes is assessed on your academic qualifications and your professional experience. Neither the GMAT nor the GRE forms part of our entry requirements.
Most programmes offer more than one route in, including a mature entry route for applicants without a first degree who bring substantial professional experience. Places filled through mature entry are capped at 25% of the intake on the programmes that operate that cap, and mature applicants are interviewed to confirm eligibility.
If a route below looks close but not exact, speak with Admissions rather than assuming you are ineligible.
