  • A critical thinker who holds a scientific worldview 
  • Highly attentive to detail 
  • Knowledge and understanding of emerging technologies  
  • A desire for continuous learning opportunities 

 

What do I need to apply? 

To apply, you need to have:

  • A previous degree (at least Bachelor's equivalent) with excellent grades. If you are finishing your undergraduate studies within the next year, your application will also be considered.  
  • Recently graduated, with no more than 24 months of postgraduate work experience (excluding internships). 
  • English language proficiency test scores (if applicable)* 
  • Proof of strong quantitative skills, such as a degree in an analytical field or GMAT/ GMAT FOCUS/ GRE scores**

*ESMT expects a score of 100 points in the TOEFL, 7.0 in the IELTS or 850 in the TOEIC. The ESMT TOEFL institution code is 8707. You will receive a waiver for the English proficiency test if English is your native language or if you have completed a university degree completely taught in English. 

** Above-average and well-balanced GMAT, GMAT Focus, or GRE scores are typical, but not obligatory, if you can provide alternative evidence of outstanding quantitative skills and/or scientific training  within your Bachelor’s studies with competitive grades. 

Evidence of scientific training can be proven from one of the following:

Bachelor’s degree specialization in engineering (chemical, civil, electrical, mechanical, environmental, or other engineering application)

Natural sciences (biology, chemistry, physics, or other natural science), mathematics, statistics, or other quantitative science economics, where the majority of courses and research was theoretical and quantitative in nature rather than applied.
