We Look for Highly Motivated Candidates

The EMMS admission process is rigorous and designed not only to determine if you are suitable for the program, but also if the program will meet your expectations and your career goals.

Admission Process

Applications are examined on a rolling basis and those received well in advance of the deadline have a greater chance of being admitted. Therefore, it is in your best interest to submit your application as early as possible.                                                                    

As soon as the selection process is completed you will receive a formal letter from the Admissions Service, which will inform you of the admission decision. The results are never communicated by telephone.

The selection process will yield one of the following results:

 

  • Admission: If you are accepted, alongside the official admission notice you will receive a participation contract.
    If all available places are occupied, the school may decide to put you on a waiting list or offer you admission for the following year.
    Admission to the program is valid for the year the application is submitted. However, you can request deferment for the following year, but approval of deferment is on a case-by-case decision by the Admissions Committee.

 

  • Non-Admission: Admission to the program is highly selective. The selection process assesses the profile of the individual candidate while taking into account the composition of the EMMS class, which must be consistent with the quality and diversity the school requires. While we are aware of the deep commitment all candidates must make to go through the selection process, the school does not provide further clarifications to non-admitted candidates.



Enrollment

Upon confirmation of your admission, you will receive an enrollment form that must be completed, signed and uploaded to MyApplication by the deadline indicated in the admission’s letter. To complete the enrollment process, you have to make the first tuition payment.

In some cases (more frequently for extra UE students), if admitted, you may also be required to send by land mail the official/original or certified degree certificate/transcript.

Scholarships and Tuition Waivers

Each year multiple scholarships and tuition waivers are available for outstanding candidates, thanks to the ongoing support of companies, other organizations, as well as our alumni and current students.

Applications for tuition waivers are evaluated according to the following criteria:

  • Analysis of the requirements indicated in the specific notice of competition
  • Analysis of academic and professional records
  • Results of the EMMS selection process

 

To be eligible for a tuition waiver, applicants must:

  • Have the pre-requisites for the tuition waiver
  • Have sent the application to the EMMS 18th Edition Program
  • Upload the tuition waiver motivational letter.

 

All candidates who meet the requirements can apply to the tuition waivers.
Candidates can apply to the scholarship/tuition waivers even though their selection process is still in progress.
Admission to the program is independent of the awarding of any scholarship or tuition waiver.

The tuition waiver is not compatible with the “early bird fee”. Candidates enrolled by November 13th 2023 but deciding to compete for the tuition waiver (if awarded with it) will lose the right to the early bird fee.
