    Research / PhD Programmes: Normally require a relevant honours or Master’s qualification, a suitable proposal and School or supervisor approval.

    Work Experience: Required or preferred only for selected professional, executive and specialist programmes.

    GMAT / GRE: Not generally required unless the individual programme specifically requests it.

    Application Documents: Passport, award certificate, year-by-year transcripts, translations where required, English evidence, CV and statement of purpose. Some courses require references, a portfolio or further evidence.

    Application Portal & Fees: Apply through the non-EU link on the relevant course page. A €50 application fee applies. International tuition starts from €11,650 per year and is course-specific. To secure a place, applicants normally pay 50% of the annual fee or €6,000, whichever is greater.
