- A Bachelor degree from an accredited university or college with satisfactory grades, or an equivalent professional qualification. In cases where applicants have graduated from unfamiliar programmes, a GRE/GMAT examination score may be required.
- Proficiency in the English language, evidenced by graduation from an English language institution, or by a satisfactory score in TOEFL (not lower than 550) or other standardized language examination, or by assessment during the personal interview.
- At least three years of work experience (military service counts as work experience).
Applicants who are admitted to the programme except for their lack of English fluency may be given conditional admission subject to improving their language skills. These students have the opportunity to take an intensive and highly interactive course in business English (both writing and conversation) at CIIM, to upgrade their language skills before they begin their MSc programme.
A personal interview is an integral part of the selection process.
