Admission

Requirements: Admission requires a bachelor degree or higher, preferably in economics, business administration, mathematics, statistics, physics or engineering. There are no fixed rules on who will be admitted but the admission is highly competitive. As a rule of thumb, successful applicants will score at or above the 90th percentile in the quantitative and analytical section of the GRE General Test and have performed exceptionally in their previous studies. Evidence of creativity and inclination towards research will be taken into consideration.

If your highest degree is a bachelor degree, we will automatically enrol you in a master program in order to award you a master of science degree on the way to your doctoral degree.

Admission: There is only one intake per annum in October. The deadline for applications is March 31. All applications have to be send through our on-line application system.
