The admissions process is rigorous and selective, but is also focused on the qualities and skills that you will bring to the class cohort. As the program is designed specifically for leaders in the investment management, banking and general financial service area, a candidate’s record of professional achievement is a critical factor to determine his/her admission. The number of places available in the program is limited, and admissions are based strictly on merit to ensure candidates of the highest possible quality. All applications are reviewed and approved by a joint admissions committee.
