Required Exams for Admission

GMAT (690)
IELTS (8)

Overall it was a very good experience, the diversity at the university was also very good with around 37 nationalities represented. The courses were also fun and engaging. Post graduation career support is also a huge plus point.

Course Curriculum

9

The curriculum is regularly updated based on the requirements of industry. There is a mandatory internship included in the course which gives a practical hands on experience. There also a social impact project which is done in the final year of the program. This can be done with an NGO or a company.

Faculty

10

Faculty at ESMT is very good, most have PhDs in their domains. Professors are easily approachable and are very helpful towards the students. Some professors who were very impactful were Guillermo Baquero, Jan Nimcik and Michael Graeck.

Campus Life

8

The campus is located in the former headquarters of the East German Government. There are also a lot of student clubs such as investment club, entrepreneurship club, Women empowerment club etc. There is a library and research facility on the campus. Students also get access to Bloomberg terminals for investment analysis or personal use.

Placement

10

There is career fair organised at the university where many companies participate. A lot of students find internships and full time work opportunities there. Median salary is around 50000 EUR. On an average about 40% of the class has a job offer before graduation. I myself had 4 job offers before graduation.

Accommodation

Off Campus
8

There is no official accommodation for students, all the students live outside in the city.

Exams

My GMAT score 690 and IELTS 7.5. A minimum of 650 on GMAT and 6.5 on IELTS is needed with no section less than 6. There is no SOP but 3 small essays to be written which are under 150 words. For LOR it can either be a letter or an online form. CV with all relevant work and volunteer experience is to be included. After the CV screening round there will be a short interview with the admissions team on CV points. One interview only on the CV, so through back up stories for all CV points is needed to be successful.

Fees

25000 EUR

Scholarship

Yes, the early bird scholarship. The only criteria was to apply early to the program. I think this has been removed now.
