Applicants must have achieved a certain level of academic performance during their undergraduate studies (bachelor level). For more information on countries that are not listed, please contact us.

An average grade meeting our prerequisites (see below) does not in itself guarantee your admissibility. The selection committee proceeds to a holistic evaluation of your file. All the elements CVs, personal statements, personal and profesional experience, etc. are taken into account during this process. On a very exceptional basis, it is also possible to offer admission to an applicant who has a slightly lower average but whose application includes professional assets which might compensate.

On the contrary, an excellent academic average that is not supported by any other element enhancing the profile could make for a weaker application. Please provide proof from your university stating your undergraduate average and, if applicable, your Master's degree. You will need to enter the exact average for each part of your higher education.

References are mandatory and carry a lot of weight in the assessment of your application. The choice of referees is essential. Before starting your application, please read carefully the instructions to select the right referees and contact them beforehand.
