All applicants who fulfill the formal criteria will be invited for an interview.
The one- and two-year Executive MBA programs have a limited number of spaces available and not all applicants, even some of those fully qualified, can be admitted. Early application is recommended.

Application Evaluation
- Case-by-case approach: IEDC evaluates applications on a case-by-case basis. The application is evaluated according to a range of criteria which include the applicant’s work experience and professional performance, academic records, proficiency in English language, professional recommendations, evidence of an international outlook, strong motivation, and, for the one- and two-year EMBA applicants, demonstrated leadership potential.
- Interviews: All applicants who fulfill the formal criteria will be invited for an interview, either in person or via telephone. Normally, the applicant will hear whether his/her application has been successful within one month of the interview.
- Time and class size constraints (one- and two-year EMBA): The one- and two-year EMBA admissions process works on a rolling basis, which means that applications are evaluated in the order in which they are received. Due to limited space, we suggest that applications be submitted as early as possible. Due to class size constraints and the desire to achieve a balanced mixture of backgrounds, not all applicants, even some of those fully qualified, can be admitted to the program.
- Additional information: prospective applicants who need help with their application package or wish to receive an informal evaluation of their eligibility for the program before submitting a formal application are welcome to contact the IEDC EMBA Office.
- The Presidents’ MBA program fee, which covers tuition, classroom materials and coffee breaks, is 34,000 euro (including VAT).
- Accommodation and living expenses are estimated at 5,200 euro when opting for hotel accommodation and approximately 2,500 euro when choosing accommodation in private boarding houses.
Financing your investment in the future
The IEDC Executive MBA program is not just an investment in participants and their career - it is also an investment that a company makes into its competitive viability. Many participants are supported by their companies, while the rest pay the tuition fee individually, either by installments or by taking a loan.
- Corporate Sponsorship
By investing in their executives, the companies increase their pool of well-trained managers able to successfully face competitive challenges. This is why many of them support their executives, either financially (fully or partially) or through time commitments, or both. Sending a manager to an Executive MBA program can give a company a manager with
- a better understanding of business challenges
- an integrated and structured approach to managing business
- a solid foundation in functional management/li>
- improved managerial and leadership skills
- an increased ability to manage change
- greater self-confidence
- international exposure
- more business and network contacts
- Payment by Installments
All participants may choose to pay the tuition fee either in one sum at the start of the program or by installments that spread the costs over a duration that is acceptable to both the school and the participant. If payment is made in installments, there is an additional charge of 1,000 euro.
- Loan Financing
Participants not sponsored by their companies often qualify for loans or other forms of financial aid. Loans to cover tuition fees are provided by HVB Group (Bank Austria Creditanstalt, Austria; Banka Austria Creditanstalt d.d. Ljubljana, Slovenia; Splitska Banka d.d., Croatia; HVB Bank Romania, Romania; HVB Bank Serbia, Serbia & Montenegro; HVB Bank Slovakia, Slovakia) and Privredna Banka Zagreb, Croatia and TAS-Kommerzbank, Ukraine.
