DBA Admission Process
- Submit Application: Applications from prospective students are reviewed only once all documents are submitted and admission criteria are met.
- English Test: As English is the common language used in Geneva Business School, TOEFL/IELTS/DET test scores, online, phone or face-to-face interviews measure each student’s English proficiency level. Online English tests can be an alternative if necessary
- Interview: After all references have been checked, a final interview takes place and then a final letter of admission is sent to the prospective student.
- Confirmation: The Registrar validates applications and informs the students. The Registrar reviews applications that may not completely fulfill the admission criteria and may accept them upon evidence-based competency proofs. In some instances, an “entrance exam” may be added to assess candidates’ proficiency in reading, writing, verbal, analytical, and quantitative proficiencies.
