The quality of the Executive MBA program very much depends on the quality of our students, so the HFU Business School selection standards are exceptionally high. A selection committee reviews all applications and suitable candidates are invited for an interview. The final selection of candidates is made following the interview.

We have one intake per year. There is a two part application procedure.

Step one: Complete the application quick check. You will receive a prompt reply from us indicating whether your profile fits the minimum requirements for the program.

Step two: If so, we will ask you to send us more detailed application documents such as your curriculum vitae (CV), a letter of motivation, academic certificates and work references.

Application deadline is 15 January for program start in summer semester (March) of same year.
