Eligibility

At WBS we do not have, or want, a 'typical' participant for the Warwick MBA. Everyone is different. The only common factor is that all our participants want to learn from each other. The composition of each class is hugely important to us. Each class is diverse, international, global thinking, and has a wide range of professional experience.

Full time study

Normal minimum requirements are:

A good Honours degree awarded by a UK university, or an equivalent overseas, or professional qualification
A well balanced GMAT score of at least 620, without exemption
At least three years of relevant postgraduate work experience
Proven English language competence.

Part time study

Normal minimum requirements are:

A good Honours degree awarded by a UK university, or an equivalent overseas, or professional qualification
At least four years of managerial work experience
Proven English language competence
GMAT is not expected, but a good score may enhance your application.

English language & visas

Competence in reading, speaking and writing in English is essential if you are to get the most from your time at WBS. If you are a national of the UK, or one of the following countries recognised by the UKBA, you do not need to take an English test:

Antigua & Barbuda
Australia
The Bahamas
Barbados
Belize
Canada
Dominica

Jamaica
New Zealand
St Kitts & Nevis
St Lucia
St Vincent & the Grenadines

All other nationals must arrange to take one of the following recognised English language tests. We accept:

IELTS minimum score 7.0 no component score below 6.0 AND no more than two components at 6.0
TOEFL iBT, minimum overall score 100 Minimum: Listening 21, Speaking 23, Reading 22, Writing 21.

CAE Pass grade B.

All full-time students from outside the EEA must apply to the UKBA for an adult general student visa under Tier 4 of the points-based immigration system. To obtain a student visa you will need proof that you have enough money to fund your complete stay in the UK. More details are available on our international students page, and from the University's International Office.

Don't quite meet the criteria?

If you do not have the academic qualifications but are an exceptional candidate with a proven ability to achieve, we will still consider your application.

We place great value on sharing work experiences as part of the learning process. The minimum duration and type of experience is therefore not negotiable. If you do not have the minimum experience you should consider our MSc in Management instead.
