Advanced Master’s programs
Our admission process is designed to identify motivated candidates with strong academic backgrounds and a clear professional vision. It takes place in three key stages:
- Application review: Our academic team carefully evaluates each application to assess your academic achievements and the relevance of your professional goals to the program.
- Admission interview: Selected candidates are invited to an online interview. This conversation helps us better understand your motivations, your background, and how your project aligns with the program’s objectives.
- Admissions committee: Following the interview, your complete file is reviewed by the Admissions Committee, which makes the final decision based on your academic record, professional project, and interview performance.
The entire process usually takes about six weeks from the date the application is submitted. An admissions committee meets at the beginning of each month (starting in January for eligibility review and in February for admission decisions).
