How to apply
We are committed to diversity and inclusion and strongly encourage applicants from women and other groups who are currently underrepresented in engineering.
Before starting your application, we encourage you to read the current guidance notes, which provide detailed information, supporting you through the application process.
You may submit an application at any time prior to starting your MBA course, however, we suggest you do not apply until you have submitted an application to one of the eligible business schools and think you will have a decision before the SMF interviews. Applicants who have already started at business school are also eligible to apply.
Applicants who are invited to interview will only be invited once they have a confirmed place at an eligible business school. If your place is confirmed after you have submitted your application please send confirmation to the Programme Manager.
